In comparing prints on Ilford Warmtone FB that were made recently vs a couple of years age, I notice a marked change in the base of the papers. My more recent prints have a much whiter base, in spite of similar processing (Ethol LPD 1+3, typically, but occassional Dektol).

I am alone in noticing these changes? Will a "warmtone" developer warm the highlights as well as the darker tones?

Thanks.

Yikes! Sorry, that was me the first time. Forgot I ever did it and never saw any of the replies; maybe it's time for a vacation!

Ilford, please make the base warmer again to match the tone of the emulsion. It only makes common sense.
