I think Agfa FB would do a much better job of reminding me of itself than the Crane company can making paper for an entirely different in no way similar printing process. So this is an inkjet paper which is great because it looks like anything but an inkjet print. It looks like everything except what it really is! Well I like inkjet prints. And I like the way they look I like the inkjet process itself and I like they way they are supposed to look. I'm not into emulations. Not into excuses or apologies. "Buy our inkjet paper we promise it doesn't look anything like inkjet paper. So you're bound to like it! You'll never dream your just making an stinking inkjet print" You won't believe it's yogurt! I'm just picturing the meeting with the ad People "well the problem with the product we are selling is... It's yogurt. And people don't like yogurt. But we want them to buy our stuff anyway. So how are we going to sell it?" "well first we apologies profusely" No amount of computer convenience is going to get me to do a printing process which needs to look like anther printing process in order to get me to like it. Darkroom, Or dye transfer even. I would mix up the darned trays in my bathroom or rent a darkroom. Luckily I don't have to becuae inkjet print do have an excellent look making use of papers they way they have been made for hundreds of years. Watercolor papers basically. You can spray pigments on them amazing! The process has integrity. Mark Rabiner New York, NY 40?47'59.79"N 73?57'32.37"W markrabiner.com
