[Leica] Green Shadows Example

[Jayanand Govindaraj]

I have found Ilford Gold Fibre Silk to have really gone down in quality over the last couple of years, and have all sorts of colour casts, to the extent that I have stopped using it altogether. I finished off whatever stocks I had printing in B&W. It was one of my standard papers in its previous avatar, as it was first introduced. The price has gone up, and the quality down, a fairly common occurrence for a company that has got into Private Equity’s voracious clutches! 

Cheers
