Here are a couple of print scan examples so far. If they are ok for everyone then I'll see about putting them all into a gallery.

This will be of great interest and help to all of us on FADU. It's the equivalent of several paper makers' sample books of prints

We owe you our thanks, Marty

Mike

Although I'm not normally a fan of warm tone prints, I must say I prefer the depth of tones in the Rollei sample. Seem deeper and richer. Interesting.... Now I'm curious if their neutral-tone paper has the same depth.

Some quick questions.... What print developer are you using? What film format?

Thanks again Marty -- this is a great project.

Svend

Hi Svend,
The negative is 6x9cms from a Fuji GSW 690 iii which is the 65mm wide angle version.
The print developer was Ilford Multigrade Warmtone at 1+9 for 3mins in a Nova processor.

I think it would be helpful if I put text, with the name of the paper and paper finish, on the bottom border.
All exposures were at grade 2.

Got it -- thanks Marty. That's good to know. Anything unique wrt. the film type or film developer that would influence things here?
