Unlike many papers it contains no brightener so it will keep developing as long as you leave it in the soup. It tones like no other, from a cool black to a chocolate brown in 20:1 selenium. The RC matches the Fiber Base pretty closely so it is possible to make test prints and contacts on the RC and translating this to the fiber base. Tech support is great (there is one lady at Omega Satter but she can tell you everything) and the price is lower by half than Ilford Warmtone.Sorry to be off topic but good stuff needs mentioning.
