Hi, I have a couple of questions concerning paper negatives: Ilford RC VC Multigrade IV with a yellow filter (small piece cut from the corner of my 00 grade enlarger filter) to provide decent mid-tones and an ISO 3 to 6 is what I use. You can also buy small quantities of various papers and experiment to see what you like best. Fiber paper will give you a more textured positive. If you do 4x5 paper negatives and that you have access to a 4x5 enlarger, try blowing up your negative to a larger format and see how the texture of the paper is blown-up with the negative image. If you want to be real fancy with paper negatives and darkroom & other techniques, check the amazing article on the Bostick&Sullivan web site "The Mortensen Wet Paper Negative Method" http://www.bostick-sullivan.com/Technical_papers/mortenso.htm Cheers, Guy
