I printed on nothing but Ilford pearl when I was doing BW printing - except for the contact sheets. Took a bit of cinvincing to get me to use multi-grade and filters but I got used to that quickly. Never did color printing except Cibachrome - didn't do much of it and I'm still alive and breathing :) ann
