Edge is the highest-contrast paper Kodak makes. If they still make it,
Portra is the paper you want for most professional use (the medium-contrast
paper in sheets is, or was, "Supra", and the high-contrast one "Ultra").
Pro Image is made for laser recording in machines like the Frontier, isn't
it? Those systems adjust the image digitally so almost any paper contrast
will work so long as the curves of the paper are known.
