arthur_gottschalk Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Can anyone suggest a warm-tone paper with a cream base, similar to the no longer available Maco WA Expo fiber paper? Beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodeo_joe1 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 A Chlorquinol developer was supposed to give warm tones. Amidol for cold tones IIRC. When I tried those esoteric developers years ago, the difference was so subtle it wasn't worth the bother. What about a pyro developer? That ought to give warm tones in spades. As for the cream base - maybe dip the paper in cold tea? Mount it behind a pale amber gel? Coat the print with a diluted wood-stain varnish?

arthur_gottschalk Posted November 13, 2017 Author Share Posted November 13, 2017 I'm happy enough with the warm-tone papers I'm using. It's the cream base I'm after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodeo_joe1 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) Hahnemühle Photo Rag Ultra Smooth 305 gsm, 100% Cotton, "white ", actually a light color of straw. - Isn't that just a plain paper, with no emulsion? I think the OP is looking for a sensitised (i.e. 'Bromide') photographic paper. Not something to stick in an inkjet printer. "Tone of the base materials: MACO expo Note: The dye used for the cream tinted base at MACO MULTIBROM WA is to some degree water soluble. Long washing times more than 30 minutes ma weaken the intensi of the cream tint." That would seem to indicate that it's a white paper that's been dyed. As such it should be easy to replicate by dyeing any other white-based paper. Edited November 14, 2017 by rodeo_joe|1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
