I reprinted Comandante today using the DIY UV Box that I built. Used a 45 minute exposure time, but I'll need to re-analyze my chartthrob and redo the curve on it. BUT it's getting closer to what I'm envisioning.

I also toned the original one with coffee. It's amazing. Toning with coffee damn near makes it a black and white.

Your toned in coffee looks darn good. Judging by the photo of it, the whites actually appear white? Is that accurate? I ask because I always got toned/coffee stained whites...so I switched to bleaching and redeveloping in tannic acid.
