[pure-silver] Re: Kentmere Kentona Weirdness

What Dev. are you using?

according to:
http://photo.net/black-and-white-photo-printing-finishing-forum/00OWFw

"The consensus seems to be that the removal of cadmium from the paper is the 
culprit and that (and the folks at Freestyle seem to support this) the paper 
should not be used with Phenodine-based developers, but only with metol-based 
developers."

So perhaps you might try it with Dektol or D-72...
