Strength:

Easy to use, beautiful prints with Glossy and Pearl.

Weakness:

None I have found.

This is by far the best paper I've used, prints turn out beautiful. Tried many others and keep coming back to Luminos.

Strength:

Excellent tonality - very white base and very dark blacks, with nice graytones between.

Nice glossy surface on the Glossy variety. I also like the Pearl and the Semi-Matte surfaces in Double-weight.

Very responsive to changes in filters and exposures. The image really "pops" when you hit it right.

Priced notably lower than comparable Kodak, Ilford, Agfa, etc., VC RC papers.

Weakness:

None.

My parents the semi-retired pros and I use this paper for nearly everything, and have for many years. We've gone through *many thousands* of sheets of Flexicon, and it's great stuff, entirely comparable to more expensive papers.

Absolutely worth trying!

Customer Service

Great. Call their office in Yonkers, NY and ask for Bart!

Strength:

Black blacks, clean whites, good tonal separation. One thing that I really noticed when I first started using this paper was how much easier it was to get the highlights to register detail without printing everything too dark or have to change the print grade by more than a half grade in either direction. Really nice toned resultes when toned in Fotospeed blue toner.

Weakness:

took me a while to find the stuff.

Nearly the best printing paper I have ever used (second only to Kodak AZO for 8x10 contacts). If you can get it, buy it and you won't be sorry.
