Kentmere VC Select Luster Reviews

Good RC Paper

By Frank from Chicago
Rated 5 out of 5

I have been using this paper for years. Quality and surface is great for my purposes. Nice contrast and does not dry down.

Not many differences from Ilford

This paper is made by the folks over at Ilford and there aren't too many differences that I can see in prints yet. The packaging is one, I suppose. The envelope style is a bit more cumbersome to get paper out of and it's certainly not a light tight package like the thicker cardboard package you get with Ilford paper. The cardstock envelope lets light through so it's ultra important to wrap the paper back up tightly in the black bag. I would actually recommend just getting a paper safe. It'll just make everything easier.
