Preferred matboard for warmtone prints?

[MurrayMinchin]

Hi there,

My go-to for selenium toned Ilford MGFB paper has been White Rising Museum Board, but find the warm whites of the paper I'm now using get overpowered and seem dull with this mat board.

I'm leaning towards Medium Grey Rising Museum Board. What matboard do you use, or have you seen used successfully, with warmtone prints?

100% cotton preferred.

There was a 'Natural White" that Light Impressions had that I liked with warm prints. Just a touch of warmth to it -- the antique whites tend to be too warm. Have not seen anything quite like it for awhile.

I tried gray mats decades ago...did not like them.

Thanks for that.

Rising has an Olde White that might work....if it's a bit lower value than the 'pure white' I'm getting in the prints. Also haven't platinum toned any yet to compare with the palladium toned prints I've made, so there will be print/mat colouration relationship as well.

Hopefully a few people will chime in with their choices; then I'll order samples to compare.

Good luck. I prefer 8-ply, so the choices tend to be less.
