Hello. I have been using Forte's Polywarmtone Art Semi-matte paper, which is a varibale contrast paper with ivory base. I have been using Dektol 1:2 to develop, and tone in Wynn Bullock's selenium formula that includes 3 oz. of permawash, for 4-5 minutes, a duration that does not seem to affect image tone. I like this paper very much because of the ivory base, but I don't seem to get very strong blacks, or very good separation in the blacks. I primarily contact print 8x10 Tri-X negatives developed in HC-110.
Anyone using this paper? What is your experience; what developer's are you using? Is anyone familar with other papers that have an ivory base, and available in glossy as well?
Thank you.
