Michael Smith's Azo replacement paper, Lodima
Foma and Bergger have some amazingly beautiful papers...
For everyday work, I like Ilford and it's readily available, of course.
Bergger VCCB and Ilford Multigrade IV Warmtone.
Fotokemika Varycon and the pre-preduction Adox MCC, and Oriental Warmtone FB.
LODIMA FINE ART Paper

Ilford MG FB Warmtone and RC Warmtone. I also cherish my few remaining boxes of Agfa MCC, which I mention because it may yet be reborn - I'll be testing and probably stocking Adox MCC if and when it goes into regular production.
Kentmere Finegrain VC glossy. I like the bright white base and the lack of curling when dry.
Could someone explain the Lodima process to me. I've looked on the web, their website, and other places and would like a simple explanation of what I need to do to make prints. Thanks in advance. (I'm thinking of buying some.)

It's a backward looking product (read the name backwards) to replace Kodak's discontinued Azo contact paper. Many people process papers like these in Amidol based developers.
So you need the right size & contrast negative to make your contact prints. It's not particularly different apart from that. Chloride papers are too slow forv enlargements but have a long toanl range.
