Comments about Fujifilm Crystal Archive Type II Paper (16 x 20", Glossy, 50 Sheets):
I am printing in my color darkroom and processing using a HOPE processor. I am thankful that the processing of the paper is precise every time because that takes one variable out of the mix when it comes time to evaluate the performance of the paper and of my printing.
This paper is extremely well suited to be printed with today's newest color emulsions from Kodak and Fuji. I can see where some people have noticed a little bit of green in certain areas of the shadows, but I dont think that it is anything that I will be worried about.
Once processed and stabilized it is extremely sensitive to varying display conditions. I notice more of an apparent, not actual, shift in density when changing from room to room with different light sources, a 6500k viewing box or even outside in sunlight. Make sure that you are aware of the viewing conditions that you will be showing in before you stop working on the print.
