Interestingly I had checked the Freestyle site yesterday and their price for
POLY-MAX Fiber was almost identical to the Ilford Multigrade FB price. So price
was not going to be a consideration in my mind in this case.
They have, by the way one heck of a PDF download! 132 pages if full color glossy
on your monitor photo stuff! I love electronic publishing!
