Some weeks back I posted some questions about Vc printing with a cold light head. I ended up deciding to use graded paper. The only graded Rc paper I could find was from Freestyle. I just made about 50 prints and I am real pleased with the paper. Nice cool tones, black blacks, white whites. For the price it would be hard to beat for anyone wanting a graded RC paper. As a disclaimer, I have no interest with Freestyle.

I agree--I've always had excellent service from Freestyle. So, what brand paper did you buy from them?

Freestyle. I have no idea who actually makes it.

A lot of their house brand items are reported to be Ilford.

Thats Arista, not Freestyle. Sorry.

I've been using Freestyle's Arista paper, both FB and RC for 3+ years and find both excellent for everyday use. They both seem to handle exactly like Ilford MG, but I do note blems on maybe 3 or 4 sheets in a 100 pack, so they could be seconds, but hey, for the price and Freestyle's good service, I'll keep going back.
