It is processed in the RA-4 chemistry just as regular color paper is. It makes beautiful B&W prints from either color or B&W negs. The only problem is it costs approx 2.5X regular color paper. At Photokina, I saw a possible competitive paper from a Japanese firm. It was to be available in either matte or glossy, regular B&W or sepia tone. And it would be a lot cheaper than Ektamax. They were looking for a company to market the paper in the US, possibly Fuji. I hope they do, because the price Kodak charges for this product is outrageous. Bill Rosauer
