[pure-silver] maybe the microwave?

I think I might have figured out what it was. I think the color shift might have been caused by the fact that I was using the 8x10 paper as test sheets for the 11x14 paper, so I dried the 8x10 sheets in the microwave to see what the image would look like dry. Apparently that causes a color shift. If I don't put them in the microwave, they look about the same as the 11x14 sheets. Does this seem possible: that drying the paper fast like that could cause it to take on a cooler tone?

<x-tad-bigger>Well not with photo stuff,  but I have had it happen with other things.  It is not that uncommon for the package of one thing to end up being filled with the contents of something else.  Id drop an email to Illford.  Have the box, and include in the email any lot or date information you might find.  A UPC code also might help.  If you have printed enough to know its the wrong stuff you probably have something that you could scan and send as a sample of the cold tone.  Wife is a packaging engineer and the stories she can tell about what gets in the wrong box.</x-tad-bigger>

<x-tad-bigger>It should help with two things.  First is that if they still have stuff from that lot that hasn't shipped, they can pull it so someone else doesn't have the same problem you did.  More importantly they owe you a box of warm tone paper.  You should get either you money back or another box of the correct paper.</x-tad-bigger>
