This is the super gloss high priced stuff. I make a contrast mask if needed rather than using the lower contrast material. I personally like the original "Ciba punch." My contrast masks only masks the really bright areas, leaving everything else as is. Of course you can make a mask to bring the complete dynamic range down, but instead of that, I would opt for the lower contrast paper. The Ilfo color palette seems to be the same as the older Ciba.
