Hi there,

I've been looking for some papers to use for paper negatives and contact printing and i came across ultrafine website.

http://www.ultrafineonline.com/ulphpa.html

Their range of papers seems to be affordable. Anyone had tried any of their paper for negatives/printing?

Thanks!

PS: I've posted this to other forums to get more opinions i hope it's fine. :)

I've used about a thousand sheets of Ultrafine Silver Eagle VC FB without any bad surprises. It offers a neutral tone image on a white paper base. Development is rapid and the paper responds to all my contrast filters from -1 to 5+. The unglazed glossy surface is nice. The paper has no particularly distinctive character so it does not impose itself on the final image . I like that.
