Whoa, there's one from the vaults. Didn't you answer me weeks ago? In any event, yes, I purchased the WarmTone paper as recommended by several LUGgers and have to say that I'm extremely pleased with the results. The paper I got was the RC and I didn't tone it -- in fact, didn't really feel I had to. It's not brown as some suggested, but it *is* warm with beautiful tonality. Someone else told me to keep fix and washing times short or the corners would come up off the paper -- this is true. I think next time I want to do some fine prints I will get the WarmTone FB and selenium tone. Regards, Dave.
