John, I decided a while back to just see how things would work. I grabbed a
file that was being prepared for platinum printing. I use a look like pyro
for my negs; the yellow brown pyro not green pyro. I also learned a while
back that we can waste a life time plotting and testing so, feeling it was
right I took some  Ilford MG IV and made some prints. Also some graded paper
from Cachet that was still kicking around my darkroom. These were shown at
several photo events, PPE , WPPI in Las Vegas. I never ran complete test,
because to be quite honest, I don't beat myself silly with silver gelatin
density tests. They looked great. I had no trouble printing them.  

 

It has been very consistent, negs that work well for platinum, with my
colorized curve, work well for my silver gelatin with very little fuss.

Hey Eric,

How is the tonal linearity of this film when contacting on silver paper? You
do any of that?
