I noticed that the last post by Jon was September 2019 and the link to his website doesn't work. Anyone know if he is okay?

Agfa, back in the 1970's used to make a surface of their Chlorobromide paper they used to call 'silk'. I think it must be very close to the 'Satin' made by Ilford. That gave an impression of not having a really dense black - but did it? I thought so at first but when I did some portraits that paper could not be beaten. It was almost 'dreamy' in effect.
The surface texture of the 'silk' if you looked closely was very much like tiny pyramids of emulsion that sparkled, very much like woven silk fabric, but that seemed detract from the real blacks. Possibly giving the impression of a softer grade Multigrade was not the norm in t'owld days. This may be the same effect that you may be getting from the Ilford Satin. Whether or not because the Agfa paper was fibre based and the Ilford is RC, has any bearing on the effect I have no idea. |

Hi Keith, try Photrio.
This was lifted from the photrio website and it was almost certainly his description and avatar. "Jon Butler was last seen: Dec 3, 2021"
