This might suggest that while her prints didn't have a true white, not all
images require a true white to work. That said, she may have been looking
for a true white. Here is a good reason to out put a step wedge using the
density method, coloration method, or to use traditional film wedge in order
to see how your method is being received by your coated sheet/developer
combination.

You will also be able to see what your addition of contrast agent is doing.
