The Forte Elegance Fortezo Graded Paper is a warm toned double weight fiber based paper, that is a baryta coated enlarging paper on a pure white base. Fortezo is similar to chlorobromide papers in that it has a pleasant warm, brown-black image tone.
It is highly responsive, with a tone that can be varied according to the developer used. The extremely long graduation of Fortezo allows full tonal expression without excessive manipulation.
This paper is an exhibition-quality paper that maintains its low base fog under high temperature processing.

Comments about Fortezo Black & White Graded #4 Fiber Base Double Weight Semi-Matte Paper - 16 x 20"(10 Sheets):
I am using this paper for lith prints, and they are coming out beautiful! I haven't tried to use for regular printing, but I want to try it if I have some left over. I used a poly warmtone art by them a couple years ago, sadly though it was discontinued. So I gave this a try and I do not regret it. Another great product from Forte!
