QTR-Quadtone RIP

Yes, just on the warm tone.  They were toned, but just selenium 1:20 for
"archival" treatment, not for toning effect.  This was the fiber paper.
Yes, sometimes I would get carried away and use gold 231 and selenium or
thiocarbamide  or whatever, but this was not the case.  Just a curiosity,
now no doubt long gone, like my darkroom.  For the better, IMHO.

Holy Cow! 

You saw gloss differential on Oriental VC Paper? 

I never tried it, but I certainly never had that problem with Dupont
Varigam , Kodak's miserable Polycontrast...the only semi-gloss VC
papers I took seriously after Dupont were Kodak's and Agfa's Rapid
Access stuff, both of which offered incredible blacks, presumably due
to the extra silver,

Were you toning your Oriental? That might explain it...I've seen some
seriously over-toned selenium prints that bronzed, but that wouldn't
explain gloss differential on wet darkroom paper ...
