I so wanted to like Ilford VCFB Glossy, but I could never get the subtlety out of it I was used to from other papers. I split print and tone everything in Selenium Toner and the Ilford, though competent, never quite hit the mark like, say, Bergger VCNB (may it rest in peace). Then I found the Foma Variant 111 and all was well with the world again ...
I keep reading reports/reviews of the emulsion flaking off the Foma paper. There's a four-part review by Michael Marks describing his frustration with the paper because of flaking/scratched emulsion. Granted this was from 2016. Is this still a problem with the latest papers from Foma?
