RC papers develop so fast that you have to let them develop fully. It''s almost impossible to yank them from the tray at less than full development and still end up with a nice print. Fiber on the other hand can be pulled out before the development is 100% complete, and the effect is virtually the same as a shorter exposure would have been. I'm still looking for a new enlarger that will print the full neg of my 6x7s. I passed on a Beseler 23C with Dichroic head yesterday on ebay. I think the buy it now was $200. I'm kicking myself a bit. But I still entertain the notion of an enlarger that will also do 4x5. Either the Beseler 45 or the Omega 2. And I'm really in love with the zone VI cold head on my Omega B22XL. When I get the big enlarger, I think I'm going to want to go cold head again.
