Bergger Prestige Fine Art-(Silver Supreme) is an extra-premium (320g/m2), semi-matte photographic paper with a 100% cotton rag base.
It is a single grade emulsion (approximately grade 2) which is particularly high in silver content and gives extremely deep blacks and wide range of mid-tones.
It has excellent toning capability and due to the quality of its paper base and surface softness, it allows un-matched possibilities of hand-coloring.

Comments about Bergger Prestige Fine Art-(Silver Supreme)Black & White Fiber Based Double Weight Matte Paper - 8 x 10" (10 Sheets):
This paper works marvelously when full scale and delicate highlights are desired within a print. I use an amidol water bath process with this paper to achieve outstanding tonal scale and then selenium tone or split tone with gold or sepia. Developer 130 or standard developers, like Kodak Dektol or Selectol Soft, or Ethol LPD work very nicely as well. B&H sells Photographer's Formulary products, like Amidol or Developer 130 which are wonderful in use, particularly with this ultra premium paper. This paper is truly all that it is reported to be; nothing short of exceptional.
