However, like Loris I have found that I get as much or more Dmax by single coating and then toning before fixing. Yes, toning changes the color of native VDB, but then again a toned VDB should be theory be much more archival than an untoned one.

BTW, I used to always double coat, but I found that with palladium and kallitype  it was much more difficult to remove the stain than with single coating. I don't have any trouble with stain with VDB so in theory could double coat all the time, just don't find it necessary.

This is encouraging, because I find that many of the problems I have with VDB are the result of the double-coating process (e.g. the first coat goes on fine, but the second one gives me problems with blotchiness). I routinely print my VDBs in a humidified environment and tone them with palladium before fixing anyway, so maybe I can dispense with the second coat and get more consistent results...
