I'm getting a bit of a greenish cast when developed in Dektol any suggestions on how to get rid of it?

Try some selenium toner, KRST is what I use, at about a 1+10 dilution. That should do it. This paper has a much stronger response to selenium than Ilford's paper, so watch it. It's easily overdone.

For Foma I've only used actual "FOMA" branded fiber & RC. No problems. Could be a glitch. Freestyle has a 30 day return policy. Even on paper/film. Give them a camm about it. They're great to deal with.

Dektol often gives a slight green cast to papers, not just the variety you have. At best you'd get a neutral image, while I find that mostly I get the green tint. The KRST (Kodak Rapid Selenium Toner) is a good piece of advice to get rid of it.
