I have been using the Adox 110 paper for a couple of years now with Moersch SE6/Finisher Blue and I really like it. While I prefer cool/cold tone, I have some shots that I think would work better warm and I want to try a few.

Which warm tone developers work best with this paper? I was ready to just try the Ilford Warmtone Developer but saw a post that it didn't work that well with 110...not sure if this is just the usual baloney you find on the web or whether there is some basis for that conclusion...

I've never heard that...best way is to give it a try, really.

Why not get small bottles of various WT developers, print the same neg on the same paper with each? Once it's dried down, that's the only real way to tell. I used Zonal Pro years ago and liked it, but it's hard to find where I am...always had good work with Ilford, FWIW.

I have used the Zonal Pro HQ Warmtone developer with MCC110 and liked it.

I like it in PF130 at 1:1. Warm (not as warm as Ilford MG Warmtone in the same dev), but not super warm. Of course the tonalities are quite nice.

I agree with the Print WA. It's based on the old Agfa Neutol WA that was made for Agfa MCC. And the Adox 110 is based on that paper.

Everyone

Appreciate the input. Looks like I'll have to experiment. Looks like 4 possible candidates designed for warmtone...
Ilford Warmtone
Print WA (Agfa Neutal)
Moersch SE2 (although the instructions are very confusing...)
Ethol

I'm not going to buy all 4 so I'll probably pick 2.

Thanks again.
