All I remember is Ilford Pearl. But, then again, I can't even remember what my name was yesterday.
Kodak Bromesko IFL...(Ivory Fine Lustre). Used it for my ARPS Panel of prints, plus many other jobs, Weddings, Portraits etc.
Ilford for Black and White.
I use Canson Platine or Epson Legacy Platine which are the same paper.

Canson and Epson are digital papers.

Thanks, MJ ... but, because I noted Agfa, Kodak, Ilford and Fuji - the inference could be made I was referring to Darkroom papers .... okay?

Now wait a minute. Today is tomorrow. That makes yesterday today. So the day I was asking about was the day before yesterday. So what was my name
THEN? Can't you get anything straight?
I'm sooooo confused......Anyway, I did some research and this (or whatever it was called in the '70's; I don't remember much about anything except a plant called Columbian Gold) was what I used - I think... Ilford Multigrade IV RC Paper Pearl 8x10
When I switched to digital, I used Ilford Galerie Classic Pearl Paper for Inkjet - or whatever I could get free (usually Kodak crap) or in sample packs (mostly Ilford and Hahnemühle); I ordered LOTS of sample packs under different names and addresses.
