Is Ilford the only warmtone RC paper left?

[Wayne]

I sure don't see any others

I found out where warmtone comes from.
WarmTone

There's Rollei Vintage. I suppose it's manufactured by Harman as well, but I never bothered looking into it.

I once picked up a couple of boxes of the stuff when it was on sale somewhere. Every time I use it I notice I (1) really like how it prints; i.e. I appreciate the tone and especially how it responds to selenium toning, but (2) it's such an incredibly flimsy paper base that always makes the end result slightly disappointing. Too bad, because the emulsion itself is really nice.

That's not an RC paper.

Right. And the Rollei 311 claims neutral to warm blacks. This is what Fomaspeed also does. You could use some warm tone developer

My apologies, I linked to the wrong product. The Rollei paper I'm referring to is/was 332 and 331, which as far as I can tell is no longer on offer and probably no longer being manufactured. This was a true warmtone paper, and entirely different from Fomaspeed.

 

[Wayne]

So there are none.

 

[koraks]

Currently, to the best of my knowledge, no. I had hoped the Rollei product was still current, but I suppose the stuff I got was probably on sale because it was on its way out.

Did fomatone disappear too?

Not an RC paper.

Foma used to make one but it appears to have been extinct for some time. That's a damn shame. I like the Fomatone, except for being fiber.

I don't like Ilford's.

You are just going to need to learn to have fun with toning .
For subtle change of tone, I like brown toner.
I need to get back to my experimenting with Kala Namak.

Hard to believe that Ilford's warmtone RC is the only one left. I had no idea...

Not gonna happen.

Pretty sad, considering it is among the most hideous warmtone papers I've ever tried. I've resigned myself that Polywarmtone will never come back, in a paper.

Two prints on the same Ilford MGIV RC (I believe), one subtly toned (hope the digitization doesn't get in the way):
