I'm doing well in my printing class at a nearby university. I've been using Ilford Multigrade RC paper so far. It looks nice and is reasonably priced enough to learn on. However, my goal is to make archival 8x10 prints. I intend to try selenium toning as I like a warm look, but while selenium toned RC paper will probably work for my "everyday" prints, I'm still wanting something for the long term. My instructor is pushing me towards gold toning on Hahnemule Platinum paper. I don't plan on getting an 8x10 enlarger (!) but do have a small enlarger I can make 8x10 contact prints from either film negs or wet plate glass negs. Any advice?
