Hey Bill, Ed .... Thanks for the suggestions. I fiddled a little with a couple of sheets of 8x10, Grade 2, and at least that box looks good. It was a package that had already been opened.
So, once i sort out a few more details in the way the darkroom is set up, I'll be ready to print again. I'm hoping that this paper will be a good replacement for the old Agfa Brovira I used to use.
