Did Kodak get back into the b/w paper market and we all missed it?

That makes sense. I was editing my previous post whilst you were writing this and I have added some other assumptions (which are only my thoughts, not based on facts).

As the exposure is from the lasers the contrast can be controlled on the computer so it's fixed grade.

Boy that sure would have been useful if they kept the papers the same. But yet again, speed, speed, speed - and for what?

Actually, A high speed paper for mini-lab use does make sense. I'm assuming that the image is written to the paper one line at a time (like a scanner) so this is already a relatively slow process. Not much point in slowing it down even further by using a slow paper.

Yep. You'd think it'd be 1+1 = 2. At the same time - it's better they do offer this than don't. BTW: Is it even possible to make "laser" style paper work with traditional enlargers or just forget it?

In color papers it is definitely.

at least places like mpix, and adoramapix...and elevator use a real b/w paper.

together with traditional silver based printing,
isn't the paper elevator uses a fiber based light jet stock
so they can light jet it and tone it &C ... ?
i seem to remember when it came out ...

maybe i am thinking of something else ?

but the paper on the kodak website seems to be like the rc version of
the fb ilford panchromatic paper

I think you'll find Nikon were having SLR cameras made elsewhere nearly 30 years ago, it's just it was a trade secret back then. It's rather like the products Ilford made for Fuji.

You mean like the EM? Okay, 35 years ago.
 

A good reason to keep messing around with LED enlarger heads. No ramp-up time.
