I was the one who tested some of JJ's Haloid Industro. A little foggy, but not unusable. Develop for 30 sec. in Michael Smith's amidol formula for enlarging papers (you may need to adjust the amount of benzotriazole), and it comes out to be a grade softer than Canadian Azo grade 2. This is handy, if you've got alt-process negs, or the occasional neg that's too contrasty even for Azo grade 2.
Well, it is good for me, since I have negatives that fall in that range for albumen printing and occasionally some that I'd intended for Azo grade 2 but overdeveloped, but someone who is struggling to get negs that are contrasty enough for Azo (seems to be a common problem with new Azo users), will find it kind of flat.
