Air dried glossy fiber usually Ilford Warmtone or Bergger.

I never use RC except to proof and then it's pearl.

Sparx know what you mean about the grain

The Glossy RC I liked until I got onto Pearl RC, then I felt the Glossy RC was too glossy.

Then to confuse things I moved onto Fibre. Now I like the look of both the Glossy and Matt Fibres. The trouble is each finish brings with it their own unique look and feel to the picture. If I print the same picture on both finishes I like them both, but for different reasons and can't decide which I prefer.

Mmmm maybe I should confuse things even more and try the Semi-matt
