Shapton HC series.
- Thread starter Arkwell
- Start date
The Shapton HC (previously called JP, and are gray) are similar to the Pro (traditional) stones in their results. The have a more solid matrix than the white glass stones (HR).
I consider them to be the Pro stones with the glass stone technology.
I've done some blogging on all of this.
First, here's an entry discussing the different names the Shaptons use.
Second, here's an entry discussing some differences between the Pro and Glass series.
There are 3 posts showing the surface scratch marks left by all of the stones in all 3 series.
Pro Stone Scratches
Glass Stone Scratches
Pro vs. Glass Scratches
I hope that helps.

You might want to have a look at this review I wrote over at SRP:

It´s about the HC series 4k, 6k and 8k.
I use them now as my main setup along with the HR 1k, 16k and 30k and am very satisfied with it
