Any experience with this paper? It is VC... It is about 5.50 US per sheet in 16 x 20.

It is listed as having a 90 degree weave facilitating flatness? Does this dry more flat?

Tonalities?
Developer?

Any recommendations.....I don t want to leave any stone unturned as I begin a ULF project....

this would be for contact prints...

Legacy paper from Fotospeed?

beautiful paper unfortuanately it was made by Agfa and production was stopped when Agfa disappeared. If you get some from Freestyle remember that. It will break your heart.

Dave, Legacy was a beautiful VC fibre paper made by Agfa but now sadly gone. Any stocks that Freestyle have will not be replaced when they sell out.

With regard to any suggestions for a paper for the project you mentioned, IMO Ilford Warmtone is the best and most consistent fibre paper in the market place today although I do think that Forte is also an excellent product but notoriously inconsistent in my experience which is why I refuse to use it.
