Warm Tone Papers

Does anyone have a list of non re bagged papers? I am looking for one that will print in normal developers as well as in lith but one that tones nicely now that Forte is gone.

Thanks,

Kev

Had heard good things about Kentmere Kentona so bought a box of 12X16. But have had problems with it - turns almost sepea color when finally exposed to light no matter how I fix it. Only thing that seems to work is Selenium toning after fix to keep the highlights white. It may have been a bad batch, but it sure is discouraging especially with demise of Forte Fortezo.

Something very wrong there, why don't you return it to you supplier for exchange?

Don't forget that old Kentona is now history. The new one does not contain cadmium (due to environmantal regulations) and won't lith in the exquisite orange tones the old one did.

Now the old oriental is gone, the old Kentona is gone, Portriga Rapid is long gone, I don't know which paper will give any "special" tone in lith developer. Fomatone Classic, maybe, but it is not so exciting as the papers abovementioned...

Maybe Tim Rudman can help us out here ???
