When I was 16 I thought my father the stupidest man in the world; when I reached 21, I was astounded by how much he had learned in just 5 years!

It reacts the same as warm tone FB for me, toning, etc. I'm not sure about the textured surface yet, will have to make a few more prints..I'm pretty happy with the warmtone FB
I think it is great. The nicest feeling paper I have ever held. It is about a grade harder than other Ilford paper or Agfa Papers for the same filters. It will be the best Portrait paper on the Market, you wait and see.

havn't tried it yet, but as long as Foma makes their top line.... "bring it on"....
(although I have seen examples by Moersch which looked absolutely fantastic!)
Based on what I have seen on your web presence, I think you will like it. Do try it and let us know.
I plan to.... but as usual, Ilford is very expensive so I have to wait and see....
just checked - the Art 300 is about 10£ more expensive than the most expensive fomapaper ..
But somone have mad it work!!
Moersch as mentioned; see here:

I think I have to agree with you Bill, having just tried it...I think it is great. The nicest feeling paper I have ever held. It is about a grade harder than other Ilford paper or Agfa Papers for the same filters. It will be the best Portrait paper on the Market, you wait and see.

I am waiting for my first Art 300 prints to wash. This evening, I made cyanotypes, MG-RC-WT prints, and Art 300 prints. I can hardly wait for the wash to finish.
I am blown away. I printed an 8x10 contact print portrait. For printing soft focus work or portraits, it's the paper you want to be stuck with on a desert island.
It's not just how the grays and whites and blacks are rendered, it's a combination of the tones, warmth, paper texture, image texture.
For prints you might want to nitpick with a loupe, stick to your normal shinier whatever. For non-f64 type of work, this stuff is the shizz.
So,...you like it?
Did you try toning it at all? It seems fairly resistant. But I like it straight up anyway...beautiful tonality.
