Can anyone recommend a nice fiber paper that takes Kodak's sepia toner kit well? The Ilford Fiber Glossy double weight comes out a bit too milk chocolatey for my taste. I think I would prefer something a bit more subtle.


Thanks in advance

Hi, for more subtle you can dilute the bleach and/or bleach for a shorter time, ie 30-40 seconds even.

It's fairly easy to control the depth of toning by controlling the bleach back step. For a very subtle tone, bleach the print back just until the highlights wash out, rinse the print in clear running water to remove all the bleach, then redevelop.

I ordered some Bergger and Oriental paper to cross compare toning qualities!
