Ralph.
How is he going to split grade print if he doesn't use VC paper? ...

He won't.

two fiber-based options that I know about:

Lodima(www.michaelandpaula.com for details) my choice is the grade 3, its superb!

and

Fomalux 111

Very cool, thanks for the heads up. I'd love to try some of these papers someday. After I get an 8x10"...

Yeah, I'm using VC paper when doing my contact printing (I'm not such a newbie that I'd be trying to use graded paper with split filtering - haha). I tried it out yesterday while I had some spare time in the darkroom and it seemed to turn out okay. However, I didn't do a print with a single grade filter, so I don't have anything to compare the split filtered print with.

FYI, I've been doing my 35mm and 120(6x7) contact sheets with LODIMA(in MAS Amidol), it looks SOOOOOOOOOOO much better than anything else I've ever used. I'm finding it hard to NOT shoot the whole roll all together at once so to make a contact sheet to frame . Even little 6x7cm contact prints have this "glow" about them that I can't duplicate(no matter what I do) with ANY other paper. Just amazing IMO. Well worth the $1.50/sheet !

cheers
