Darkroom Printing with Ilford MG Art 300 Paper

In this video, I am printing an image from a hike a few weeks ago with my Holga to test out Ilford's Art 300 fiber paper. This image was shot with Ilford HP5 at box speed with a Holga I bought on Amazon. (https://amzn.to/2zrhXAC).

Ilford Art 500 is a fiber-based fine art paper and is a collaborative effort between Ilford and Hahnemühle. It's quite a heavy weighted at 300gsm and is an acid-free 100% cotton rag paper. The finish is an eggshell matte and has a very faint sheen in certain light.

I found that the paper dries rather flat and is fairly easy to flatten under heavy books. Overall, I really like it and will continue to experiment with it.
