finally, yesterday evening I’ve opened a few years expired Fuji Velvet RA-4 paper (it is hard to get any of it now), cut some 8x10” sheets from a roll, and printed late summer Kodak Gold 200 pictures from the last year :)
This paper is the only real „matte” finish that feels almost like chalky paper with a printed picture - it’s unbelievable :)
