Developer recommendations for older Forte Elegance Fortezo graded paper

[jimjm]

Greetings all! I just purchased an older box of Forte Elegance Fortezo FB grade 3 paper, and am looking forward to testing it out for general printing purposes. The data sheet lists Zonal Pro developer as giving the best results, but it's no longer available. I was hoping someone who has used this paper, or is still using it, could recommend a developer that has given good results.

I haven't printed with graded papers for over 20 years, and I've mostly been using Ilford MG, Foma and Arista VC papers with Ilford MG or PQ developers for awhile now.

Thanks!

I used that paper quite a bit "back in the day" and developed it in Zone VI Paper Developer which is, basically, Dektol or Kodak D-72. Anyone of the standard paper developers should work fine. Try adding a bit of benzotriazole, if you see any fogging. Have fun!

Thanks Alan! Just the information I was looking for.
Cheers!
