It'll take a day or two since I have to go to my darkroom in order to
get that.

It's a modified DS-14. I have been testing several modifications to
DS-14 in order to further enhance the toning properties (some enhances
split toning while others make toning more uniform, at least with my
stock paper). Some make image tone cold-neutral black instead of
warmer side of straight DS-14 as posted on various places. Many of
these mods use compounds that are not available from photographic
chemical companies at this point, so I haven't shared details with
anyone yet. (I still remember how many people asked me about Dimezone
S. And how many photographic chemical retail businesses in the
U.S. carry Dimezone S at this point?)
Frankly I don;t think any of the changes to the processing you
suggested can overcome coating/drying defects. My box had a statement
that manufacturer will replace or refund for the product if it is
found to be defective due to manufacturing or packaging, so I would
pursue that.
Also, though my impression with the paper's image quality was
positive, it didn't make me feel I was missing something without using
it before.
