Bergger's semi-gloss warmtone with the ivory base is beautiful and unlike anything in the Ilford FB paper line. It's my favourite paper by far, but I do admit that it isn't for every picture. Subjectively, I think it's best with 130 dev.
I've tried the Gloss Neutral (more cool than neutral to my eye) and straight Gloss Warmtone Berrger papers, and agree that I'd rather just use Ilford equivalents.
Tried it. Love the surface, hate the color. An OBA-free product with white whites (which are a perfect match for also OBA-free Rising white board, I might add) is certainly possible. One need only look at Hahnemuhle FineArt Baryta Satin with dye inks on it to confirm that.Originally Posted by Tim V
If HARMAN can make a product with that semi-gloss surface for Bergger, it could certainly manufacture some of its own. The market, however, apparently demands shiny objects unless very warm base/image color is involved. Too bad.
Anyone know when Bergger will be back in stock in the US? I've spoken to four vendors and no one knows.
That information is available from the same source that knows tomorrow's winning lottery numbers.
