I don't understand how you can "learn" to print a negative on RC and then
print it on fiber paper.  The different papers have different
characteristics and will not at all give the same results.  As soon as you
get the print you want on RC (if that is possible), you will not get the
same on fiber paper.

Also, why is this method cheaper?  Has anybody tried paper from ZONE VI?
They not only sell Brilliant, but also Oriental.  Oriental, for example,
costs $48.87 for a box of 8x10 (100) (only $43.87 in larger quantities).
How much will you save when you use up many sheets of RC paper, and then
have to make several prints on fiber.

I used to print on RC paper (Ilford MGII) and I don't anymore.  I have since
converted to fiber paper (mostly Oriental Seagull).  I have seen much better
results with Oriental and it is archival (no RC paper is...).
