Labrat - I have absolutely no problem getting glowing highlights with MGWT along with deep, deep black shadows. But I've never been quite able to replicate the Portriga look. And as far as the thread drifting into UV-printing, C'mon you guys. I know your prints can look lovely, but ya can't stick a sheet of paper under an enlarger for a few seconds, then five minutes later have a nice print to put in the washer.
So, I'm concluding from this conversation that there is nothing that comes remotely close to the look of Portriga Rapid in silver gelatin papers.
I guess I better use this wisely.

I have about 40 sheets of 11x14 if you are interested Paul.
Don't get hooked on it, 'cuz you will be sorry when it's gone... ;-)Originally Posted by paulbarden

I know. I've felt that sorrow many times in the past twenty-five years.
