I ran out of forte polywarmtone and also out of money. so digging around i found an old box of Sterling Fiber VC that i bought several years ago. i guess i tried it out and didn't like it. but printing today - WOW! very impressed. and then saw on the box that its made in India. so now i'm curious to know what you all might have done with this paper....what developers or toner dilutions did you like or use. what do you think of this paper?

James I did use Sterling Signature a warm toned VC paper a couple of years back. Which I liked very much until they changed the base colour from white to cream. I still have some in the fridge. It responded quite well to Ilford's Multigrade dev. dil 1:9 and selenium toner dil. 1:7. which produced deep warmish blacks.

Good luck with their current paper which I've yet to try.
