Mark, if this is the stack of prints that you showed me, then I'll testify 
to how gorgeous they were. I pride myself on my ability to make 
museum-quality prints in a wet darkroom out of adequate negatives, and these 
prints were as good as or better than anything I've ever touched.

While Agfa still made Indiatone Brilliant and Kodak still made Polycontrast 
G, there was no reason to use any other kind of paper or process. But those 
are now gone, and the Hahnem?hle papers are the equal of the best of what 
you can buy now.
