Thanks.  If the image tone had changed I would have considered that it was a new
formulation.

I am unable to discern any visible difference between this emulsion 
(from 8.5x11 stock) and the previous emulsions (from 8x10 & 11x14 
stock), once processed and dry. It is still a slightly-warm overall 
tone, with a warm, but not cream, base.

But, I swear that the older emulsions took another 5 seconds to 
produce their first tones in the developer. (I have not changed which 
developer I use in a while - Neutal WT.)
