Sterling Paper ?
Purchased a box of Sterling VC oyster paper from an online auction. Has anyone used this paper, is it still made?

It was indeed a lovely paper, imported from India by Fotospeed, it is a chlrobromide paper and toned beautifully, sold as Sterling RCVC paper, it was later re packed as Fotospeed RCVC, made in India, sadly the Sterling factory burned down a few years ago, and Fotospeed RCVC paper, while good, is not a patch on the original Sterling paper, I used it for a few years, both as Sterling and the re packed Fotospeed, developed in warmtone dev I believe it was the Agfa WT developer I used then, and a lot of my prints were sepia toned in Tetenal sulphide toner, (the one that smells of rotton eggs) shame that it went it was,in my opion unique in RC papers,

I had some Sterling Warm tone FB paper it went off years ago, warm tone papers don't keep as well as bromide papers since the removal of Cadmium.
