After toying around with Forte paper for the longest time, I need a change. So I got some Kentmere paper, and wow, what a paper! I got the neutral tone, glossy, and in 130 developer the tone is so neutral, hardly any green cast at all. And the finish is gorgeous, much better than Forte. I toned for 5 minutes in selenium 1:19 at 70 degrees, and just enough to bump the Dmax up and barely push it towards pure neutral.
I'm wondering if anyone else is using this paper. I searched the site for topics on it and haven't really found much. I would like to fully switch over, but how stable is the Kentmere company? Who coats their paper? I think availablility might be hard to come by, especially on the warmtone paper. Looks like it on B&H. I'd like to try some of the warmtone paper. I think it might give a nice tone in selenium. Any thoughts?
