Has anyone had a chance to try the new Ilford Cooltone paper yet. If so, have you tried toning it? Comments?

I suspect no forum participants have gotten ahold of any yet. My local dealer knows nothing about it....but otoh that's not surprising.

I have to say I've been checking back to this thread periodically to see if anyone has responded as I'm curious as well. I will probably buy a pack in the next couple of weeks and try it myself, that really is the only way to know anyway.

I have tried Ilford's cooltone paper as a change in what I normally use ( AGFA Classic, warm tone ). I like it alot. The blacks/whites are very nice and I would assume that toning would not be a problem. I plan to tone some prints blue and will use a few to test. It is a bit more expensive so I will probably only use when I want that cool look.
