I'm taking a photography class right now to learn how to print in the darkroom. We have been using resin coated paper for all the assignments and it's been cool and all and I have definitely enjoyed it. BUT. A couple days ago I printed on fiber based paper (Ilford Multigrade IV Matt) for the first time and it blew me away. The depth. The tonality. The subtle contrast. I think I'm in love.
