Ilford admit themselves, through their professional division, that there can be mismatches between enlarger heads (Saunders/LPL seem to be a problem, and guess what I have) and also with negatives with an extended tonal range because of a mismatch of curves. I don't care what the problem is, I just know that I cannot print on the stuff and know at least three other photographers in my locality who would not touch it with a barge pole! Pity, since it is the only paper easily available off the shelf in most parts of the UK - even Kodak is by special order only. Gerry
