Thanks, nplus, for checking. I thought I had read things correctly. I've noticed that a lot of the new fibre papers have a baryta layer. I imagine this helps the dynamic range some. But isn't this the same layer they put in the RC papers with warnings about not washing too long? Like you, I always liked to wash pretty long. However I tried following the data sheets with the RC papers, and only washed a short amount of time. I think the short washing may have contributed to some of the fading and purplish tinges on my ten-year old RC prints.
