[Leica] Hannemuhle new paper

[don.dory at gmail.com (Don Dory)]

B.D.,
Then the last silver print will come off the line this year.  The samples
shown looked exactly like a fine silver print on double weight gloss paper
air dried.  I am pretty critical and have been to enought museums and art
galleries to know what a good silver print looks like.  These were shown
naked, you could touch them.  No, behind glass you can't tell nonesense.
No, it is different but just as good.  One thing I will give you is that
they do recommend spraying to prevent any bronzing issues and to bring about
the last bit of Dmax.
