Eva ★★★★★

The deep blacks and subtle highlights I got from this fiber base paper look gorgeous in my darkroom prints. It handled split-grade filtering really well for a tricky landscape negative.

Lily N. ★★★★★

The matte finish is exactly what I wanted for my portraits—it really reduces glare under bright lights. The fiber base gives these prints a lovely, substantial feel that I haven't gotten from resin-coated papers. Cleaned up my darkroom workflow without any fuss.

Victoria ★★★★★

I’ve been printing with this paper for years, and the way it holds onto midtone detail is fantastic. The 8x10 size is perfect for my enlarger, and the matte finish really cuts down on glare when I’m showing prints under a desk lamp.
