I have tried about 8 different papers and Ilford warmtone and MGIV and Forte
papers were great. You need a really contrasty negative, and my times were
well under 3 hours. maybe 15 minutes to 45 minutes in full sun? Nice
mauves, pinks, yellows on the coldtones, and peaces and terra cottas on the
warmtones.
The image is still low contrast no matter what but lends itself well to
handcoloring and a high key look.
The paper that did not work well for me was Luminos Flexicon. Slow and
ugly. Kodabrome, Oriental, and some others were fine.
