Since the demise (I know, it's available again - but not in my area) of Oriental paper, I've been using primarily Ilford Multi Grade Fiber papers. But, I recently bought a beautiful Lietz Focomat 1C and so have switched from my long-time diffusion enlarger back to a condensor. My problem is that the Ilford paper just doesn't spot well. As careful as I am, I find that with a condensor enlarger I usually need to do at least a little print spotting. The Ilford paper just doesn't seem to absorb the conventional Spotone dyes. I'm not using a hardening fixer. If I could get some feedback here, it could save me a lot of brand testing.
