Dear Sandy,
Half a year ago I contacted the Kentmere supplier in Holland and he assured me
that all, and he was very clear in this, Kentmere papers -and others- were
in some way or another coated nowadays, and if you compare the real bromoil
Fotokemika paper with Kentmere, Ilford(Galery a.o.),Kodak (Elite),Agfa(Record
Rapid) there is a real big difference if you see the relief , laying on the
paper, after the last soaking.
Also the inking is uncomparable; without the comparison I would not dare to
argue with the experienced people on this list, but in this specific case....
All the best (still no news from the Spanish Schmidt Bromoil print book?)
greetings
Henk
