It's a couple of stops slower than the regular i I'd make sure your enlarger was calibrated well enough to stop down a stop or two less than you are used to. Almost nice enough to not tone IMO. When you tone you have to make sure it don't split tone. Like if the phone rings. I selenium tone in line.
