Comments about Fujifilm Crystal Archive Type II Paper (20 x 24", Luster, 50 Sheets):
Nowhere near as nice as the older Fuji Crystal Archive paper. Much thinner, and everything looks a little flatter. Clearly, Fuji has no real interest in this stuff. The new boxes this paper comes in will do everything they can to not be fully closed....the plastic black paper bags are thinner and MUCH cheaper than before....there used to be a large cardboard piece of paper at the top to prevent light leaks (and for me, to keep test strips separate from full sheets), and Fuji decided to get rid of that. It dings MUCH MUCH easier than the older stuff. Considering switching to digital, sadly. I wish Fuji cared more about their customer base for chromogenic print paper, but I guess we don't really exist anymore. It prints pretty cold, and the blacks don't absorb as much as they should.

Comments about Fujifilm Crystal Archive Type II Paper (20 x 24", Luster, 50 Sheets):
This paper is much thinner and more easily dented then the old paper that fuji offered. Once you get over that, this paper handles color very nicely and looks great in the end. It tends to make photos on the cooler side, so if you like that this paper is perfect. Also, it is literally the only thing offered for color sheet paper, so its the only option you have.
