The portfolios of many printmaking's top names have long been filled with prints made on this legendary photographic paper. It is a pristine premium weight fiber based graded paper (grades 2,3,4) designed to be used for exhibition quality printing. It features a high silver content emulsion delivering a cold image tone and featuring lustrous blacks and very clean intense whites with a smooth glossy surface. ORIENTAL New SEAGULL G provides a matchless tonal range and superior toner acceptance especially with LABOR PARTNER LP-SELENIA selenium toner.

New SEAGULL G has long tradition for applying lithprocessing, especially in the U.S.A.
Since then, it has gained famous reputation amongst lithprinters worldwide due to its unique results by applying the MLD/LITH-Technique in combination with LABOR PARTNER LP-LITH developer.

It delivers the same cold tone characteristics as the graded G paper.
It is compatible to any VC technique, whether LABOR PARTNER FIL8 or FIL15, Ilford Multigrade™ or VC- and Colorhead equipped enlargers.
