RE: Paper suggestions for a newbee

The development technique also works by using film developer instead of
paper developer. To reduce the contrast on some scenes, I've been using D76
1:1 that I've already used for film processing...

Subject: Re: [pinhole-discussion] Paper suggestions for a newbee

When I use paper negatvies I use Oriental Premium RP M-2. (2 is the lowest
grade they make). It is a resin coated paper with a real flat matt
surface.It is my understanding that it is non-developer incorporated so it
develops more slowly especially if the paper developer is diluted (for
example 1:4 instead of 1:2) The negative will continue to develop for up to
4 minutes... similar to fiber based paper. I prefer a multigrade paper
though when printing the paper negatives to positive.
