I printed only on Agfa Indiatone Brilliant paper until they stopped 
making it and my supplies ran out. I would never think of myself in the 
same paragraph as W. Eugene Smith, but I share his lament.

After I finished grieving the loss of Indiatone, I switched to 
Polycontrast G and used only that until I parted with my wet darkroom. 
It was good enough for me.
