Sorry if this has already been discussed, but I am trying to find a paper that substitutes for Agfa multigrade FB. Today I tried Forte polygrade FB, but so far I don't really like it. Maybe I need to try different dialings on the color head, but the images look sort of flat to me, with poor separation in the highlights. If I try for more contrast, they get too dark in the shadows. Also it has an unpleasant greenish cast to me. I am still using my old Agfa neutol WA paper developer. Could that be the problem?

I guess my next attempt will be with Ilford.  Ilford paper, Ilford developer.

Is there any consensus about what paper is closest to Agfa in scale? I like the Agfa developer and some people say that somebody bought the right to keep making it, but I am willing to switch.
