I am currently using Kodak Polycontrast RC III, N surface, for carbro
work and it works very well. I work with a single solution sensitizer
and a mechanical squeegeeing device and get excellent highlight
detail with this paper. Many years ago I used Luminos RD matte with
fair results, but don't know what the current paper is like. Portriga
did not work well for me and I have never heard of SupreBrome Royal
either.
