Now one neat little trick that I use sometimes, especially when I'm printing with a fiber
based paper, are the times in which I develop my print at. Now there are different times
for RC paper and for fiber paper. That's one way that the fiber based paper is a little
bit slower to work with. But I sort of like it because I can develop my fiber based paper
anywhere from two to five minutes. And therefore I can sort of manipulate the way that print
looks. I can manipulate it much easier than I can manipulate my RC print. And another
thing that I can do with the fiber based paper, is I can use two developers. I can use a Dectol
and a Selectol. The Dectol's are a cold, contrasty developer, and the Selectol's a very warm
developer. So in a way, I'm getting the best of both worlds using those two different developers.
Now it is more expensive to use two different developers, but sometimes price is definitely
worth what your final outcome of your print is.
