Getting photo paper to look warm

[Mainecoonmaniac]

I love the look of warm BW prints. Is there a difference between making prints warm by using warm paper and a neutral tone developer or using a neutral tone paper with warm paper developer?

Neutral-toned paper in warm tone developer does not change much. Warm tone paper in neutral developer is less warm.

If I want warm paper I stick in the oven!

if you really want warmth either use warm papers and warmish developers or slightly tone sepia with/without selenium
or all combined

I had very little success with warming neutral paper in WT developer. Even WT paper in WT developer gives a very subtle change

In fact I found that after a period of changing to WT paper and WT developer I began to wonder if I had achieved anything as they started to look the same as neutral paper in neutral developer. It was only by inspecting both together that the difference was noticeable.

This was all Ilford paper and Ilford paper developers. I did quite a bit for a while. It was expensive but they used to call me Rockefeller in those days

A lot of cold cash is worth the warmth
