Comments about Bergger VC-CB Warm Tone Black & White Variable Contrast Fiber Base Double Weight Paper -11x14" (Semi-Gloss) (25 Sheets):
I will use it. I have been waiting for the return of CB Style for months. I had saved some of the old product to test against the new. The old has a much more ivory base, which I prefer. The old has an over all warmer tone and more richness in the shadows and lower zones. The new may have brighter, cleaner highlights. The new is also almost a full stop faster, this is convenient! I also tested the two versions against Ilford Warmtone I had been using while Bergger was unavailable. Making my best print of one image on all three, while I prefer the "old" CB Style, the new is still my preference to the Ilford. As with the previous version, I love the 'semi-gloss' surface, which in today's choices, is unique. I guess, if they keep making it with more of a natural white, rather than ivory base, when it is unavailable I can more easily use Ilford warmtone w/o clients really knowing. Also, having Harmon make it, will likely make it that much more consistent from emulsion to emulsion. Over all, again, I like the paper, and appreciate their commitment to still making the best product they can. Welcome back. Now make boxes of 50 and 100 for 8X with a bit of a price break, and convenience. Thank you.
