Paper Chase - Fotospeed Panorama Paper - part 4 of 1 2 3 4

OVERALL
This is a good selection of papers with plenty to choose from in terms of materials, tones, weights and costs. For what it is worth our favourites are Platinum Baryta and Platinum Etching, although for a weighty and 'arty' presence of the print in hand the Smooth Cotton would fit the bill nicely. If budget is a constraint then none of the micro-porous coated papers would let you down and our preference would be PF Lustre - it is a very pleasant surface finish and a good all rounder.

Using the trial box is an excellent idea for a beginner and if you have a commercial project in mind a single print sale will recoup all your testing costs with lots to spare (providing you don't go at it the way we did, it took three solid days of testing!). Anything you might learn from the pan papers can readily be transferred to your conventional printing.
