Comments about Fujifilm Crystal Archive Type II Paper (11 x 14", Glossy, 100 Sheets):
Compared to printing inkjets this is cheap cheap cheap and ultra sharp. It doesn't do well when blacks are clipped to complete darkness because then you'll see some slight mottling. If you see red blacks it means your colour balance is off, probably from shooting in poor light without filtration. I don't experience the cross curves others describe except with troublesome to balance film like Kodak Ektar. Ektar needs to be very carefully shot like slide film if printing onto this paper and I get the same trouble even when scanning. Prints beautifully with Portra films. Greens and yellows print much deeper and better than what I get out of inkjets.
Honestly I get quicker, better colour balancing results from this paper than the time I have to waste balancing scans. Shooting in less than optimally balanced light causes for more difficult balancing with large swings when only adjusting 2-3 points on the dichroic head.
I never get issues with a red paper base due to unwashed blix because I wash all my prints with fresh, constantly running water that's carefully temperature controlled.
Considering this is basically all that's available for glossy, cut colour darkroom paper now it's still quite usable and one can still achieve results that sets themselves apart from inkjet printers.

Comments about Fujifilm Crystal Archive Type II Paper (11 x 14", Glossy, 100 Sheets):
I had been using Type C and was handed this when I asked for Luster Crystal Archive at B&H. I just made my last print on my Type C paper and popped the type 2, I figured the chemistry would be the same but when my print came out of the processor the blacks were burgundy and oddly mottled and my whites were yellowish- in short I had a totally new set of color issues to deal with. I am furious, this paper is awful- it is too thin and the colors are totally wonky. Fuji! Please reconsider keeping Type C, its the only paper I liked to replace Kodak Supra.

This new Fuji Type II replaced the Type C paper. Type C is now only sold in rolls.
Type II has significantly lower contrast and color saturation -- it is also flimsy and bends easily when handled.
Recommended ONLY for work prints.

Comments about Fujifilm Crystal Archive Type II Paper (11 x 14", Glossy, 100 Sheets):
I have printed professionally since 1983, been through many transitions of paper and one of chemistry. I also teach color photography at the college level. This is the worst paper I've ever printed with. It has cyan highlights, burgundy shadows, is incredibly flat and has no color saturation. For any image that requires printing of neutral tones it is impossible to resolve the cyan, red crossover. Why Fuji decided on this configuration rather then the Type C, I'll never know, but they have delivered the final death nail to cut sheet, analog printing. Please, Fuji, reconsider!!!

I'm currently using this paper for a color printing class at Santa Monica College. I love the paper and the color I'm able to achieve. I highly recommend it.
