Yes. You can get grade 3 I think from B and H, but the othter grade
is only available from Michaelandpaula.com. that site has a lot of
info on how to use it too. Or maybe it's #2 that you get from B and
H, and #3 comes from michaelandpaula.

I can't remember exactly, but just that it took me a lot of tries to
get consistently good at it and to make the prints all look more or
less the same.

I was just trying a lot of alt processes and I liked the long scale
and the glossiness. but in the end I decided it was too expensive,
because of the gold toning.
