Panalure paper advice

[jettmn]

I was able to get my hands on some Kodak panalure paper that was cold stored and expired around 15 years ago hoping it’s still good. Outside of not being able to use a safelight with it any other advice you’d give when using this paper like is dodging and burning the same as when using a B&W negative and how would I go about adjusting contrast.

I'm guessing it's the RC version, not the beautiful DW fiber version. Unless it was frozen it still may have fog. Panalure was great paper, I mainly worked with the fiber base stuff. It was the only way to get a correct print from a color negative. It works just like any other. I would develop for 2 minutes in Dektol working solution at 68 to 72°F, stop bath, fix the same. Hopefully it's not fogged and you have a big box. Make a test strip. White light no VC filters.

Thanks. I’m really hoping it’s not fogged but I heard this paper has a reputation for going fast.
