Dries fast cheap Appeared quite tolerant with my beginner's mistakes (my first "masking" appeared quite nice actually)

I have no idea...

I choose this type of paper because some of my friend told me it would be nice to beging with. I do not know what to compare it with, since it is the only kind I have ever used. Anyway, I am satisfied by it, as printing black and white pictures was not as difficult as I thought it would be.

My favorite paper. Extremely consistent. A fast but workable speed. Bright whites and deep blacks. I am baffled by the rater who gave this a one as the comments make no sense. Nice cold pure black & white tone. Altough 99% of the time I don't tone, let me add that it looks good toned sepia. However, I had no success with Selenium as it looked way too purple for my taste. Dries flat & never had any problem with longevity. Unlike some papers, Polymax RC II does not allow the user to control the printing density through developing time so I always develop for about a minute. However, the exposure under enlarger gives the user very precise control of print's density.

thick paper base

almost impossible to control the result with humen ability

polimax is too slow and has an unbearable grey fog and ugly cold tone.
once i enlarged a 30inch photos with polimax with pink200 filter,the test show me unblieveble 40 mins!!!!finally the lamp was ruined.
before you make a qualified photo, you must waste 5-10 paper for test with it's complicated filter system.
advice: never use this paper.
now polimax has almost disappeared in china market.

Good highlight and shadow detail. Fast!

Well, fast – you don’t have the time to stop developing if something went wrong.

A very nice paper to do your daily work. And if you take care of proper lightning the results will come out very beautiful. Well, you won’t find this paper in a museum but it isn’t mend to be found there…
