Start with the base filteration printed on the package of paper and do a test strip for exposure. The use Kodak colour viewing filters to figure out the proper filtration. Ilfochrome had a much wider lattitude for filtration. You move in steps of 10cc's and the print viewing filters are probably the best choice. Once you have you base filtration for the film and enlarger you usually use, it needs very little adjustment.
