Hi everybody.
I have a question regrading this paper. It is surprisingly warm paper, has a brownish hue even in Dektol. But unlike Ilford warm RC, it does not look nice, it looks like under fixed print. Any suggestions for getting less warm image ? And conversely what will be better developer to take advantage of the warm qualities of this paper ?
Thnak's for any suggestions.

I'm sorry but I've only used their fibre CB warm-tone paper and it gave lovely warm tones in Ilford's WT developer diluted 1:9. I stopped using it because it simply became too expensive. I see at Linhof & Studio, 25 sheets of 10"x12" is now £45:eek:

Looks like Bergger did

however I am inclined to belief it was Forte, who made it for Bergger. Never less I wonder what to use as a developer, as I can have a cheap supply of it (around $30 Canadian no tax for pack of 100). Paper looks still usable.
