How is the new Foma MG Classic 131?

Anyone tried the 'new' semi-gloss variant of Foma MG Classic 131 paper yet? Curious to know what you think of it and how the blacks are.

Do you mean Fomatone MG 133?
131 is a glossy surface, not semi-gloss, right?

131 used to be a glossy surface. Somewhere in 2022 Foma had to change the surface due to lack of raw materials. They decided to keep the 131 nominator, but change the corresponding descriptor from 'Glossy' to 'Semi Glossy'.

Unfortunately Foma does not mention this on their own web site, but it is mentioned by several retailers. For example: https://www.retrocamera.be/en/photo...ts-fomatone-131-mg-classic-8593346236209.html

The statement that it is, or continues to be, suitable for lith printing is debatable. Wolfgang Moersch says it does lith, but not as good as before the change.
