However, Ilford did not go the whole way and did not formulate a corresponding paper developer that would have made the improvement clear to see with the naked eye. Have you noticed any improvement in this regard? My source tells me there is an eastern European manufacturer who puts film emulsion on paper, and developing these papers in the special developer you get non plus ultra prints. Johnston and Buziak: why have you not reported on this?
