If you look at a normal silver print, for example, Kodak Polymax II RC and
compare it to Ilford Multigrade IV RC the Kodak paper image will look cold
and the Ilford paper will look warm. (Given they were processed in the same
chemistry) Both are on white supports. It all has to do with how the silver
develops. I call this image tone. (I am not including toners which is a
different effect.)
If you put the cold Kodak's Polymax II emulsion on a yellowish support the
image will look warm but not because of the silver but because of the base.
I call this base tint not image tone.
You can use std spotting dyes on the later but to a lesser degree on the
former.

>Shannon, need to ask you a question. Is the paper warm silver tone or is >the base warm?If the later you can use the spot tone you have.
What is the difference?

Thanks for all the advice about re-using DDX.
Now for my other question: I am switching to Forte Warm tone paper since Agfa is no more. But today I couldn't find any spot-tone for warm tone paper. The camera store people said that spot tone is also gone. They had Marshall's spotting dye but it was neutral black. I have an old bottle of neutral black made by spot tone so I didn't buy it.
Maybe it will work to use neutral black to spot warm tone prints. I haven't tried it yet. Has anyone else?
A related question: the camera store has some felt tip pens for spotting. These do come in warm tone. Has anybody tried them?
