    B&W Photographic Papers.

    What are your favourite currently available B&W papers? Silver halide, not inkjet.
    Please, no discontinued papers.

    Foma and Bergger have some amazingly beautiful papers...

    For everyday work, I like Ilford and it's readily available, of course.

    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.

    Re: B&W Photographic Papers.

    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.)

    Re: B&W Photographic Papers.

    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.
