split toned would be welcome. I get an overall staining of the white
background (high key images) to a rose color.I've tried high dilutions and
low dilution.

Rob,

I've never noticed any staining problems with the Forte VC paper in Ilford
Universal or Edwal.
I do find it a pain to use sometimes compared to other papers...very slow,
inconsistent quality, but
it gives a beautiful chocolate brown when toned in a strong selenium
solution. By uneven do you mean the split-toned look? It's very easily
split-toned, but with a strong dilution and increased time in the toner I
can get a fully toned image.
