I have been playing around experimenting with Arista EDU grade 2 RC paper and Ilford miltigrade RC paper for negatives.
The prints made from Arista paper on to Arista paper where some what contrasty. The prints from Arista on Ilford had a very good tonal range. I was going to try an Ilford Negative but soon saw that the image was very contrasty compaired to the Arista negative so I did'nt bother printing it. I used a 40w incodescent frosted light bulb for exposure of contact prints. It could be that the yellowish low color temperature of the bulb acted as a contrast filter.
