    Re: Best fiber papers available

    I like the Adox paper, too, but was disappointed that I didn't get a tone change in selenium. I was hoping it would go to an ever so slight "cool purple" tone. I was using selenium 1:20 -- perhaps I need a stronger dilution. My favorite paper of all time was Portriga Rapid.

    Yeah... Adox is not very responsive to toners.

    Adox MCC or MCP tones really well in Selenium.

    MCC deepens DMax in Selenium, but I think the complaint was in reference to a shift in hue (warm/cool). It isn't very responsive to gold toner either in this respect, although it can be coaxed into split toning with sulfides etc.

    adox mcc110 (glossy) and fomabrom 123 variant IV (velvet) are two really nice fiber papers to print on IMO

    Any word back from Aurélien yet?
    Nope. He has a lot of work now with a lot of new product to launch. I will ask him again.
