I use this variable contrast paper for negatives of mine that may not be perfect exposure. I also use it for tinting or coloring with squab, pencil, oil stick, transparent oils. It is highly resistant to reworking the surface.

Would love to order this again, but each time I do someone in the shipping dept doesn’t know how to put a box around this box. The last time they shipped me one without a box around it. Six feet totally unusable! B/H policy? “We’ll take $50 off your order.”

As long as you can manage to set aside the idea of a set of test strips that cost you seven dollars in a single go (the cost of one full sheet), it's a fun challenge to print this big. You'll definitely want an enlarger easel big enough for the task (I would not want to try it without one). But, for the right image and the right customer, it's worth the investment of time and money. The paper itself presented no problems. The matte finish was the right choice for the work in this case, at least. I'm sorry that the envelope is now empty.

I have used this paper for all my archival quality prints. Excellent tonal range and high quality texture.

I'm very satisfied because the contrast is smooth in the strong picture. I'm glad I bought it again.

Great for landscapes and still life, could be a bit more contrasty, but maybe it's me.
