Infrared Printing papers

["Terry.Graham" <Terry.Graham@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

     Hi All
     
     Just another thought on this printing of Infrared photos. I use fiber 
     based paper about 90% of the time. This paper is usually Ilford's 
     Gallerie either a #2 or #3 grade. I have always had very good results 
     from this paper. I find that if the image is very contrasty even for a 
     #2 paper, I will develop it in a Selectol solution for part of the 
     developing time and then into Dektol. I adjust the time in Selectol 
     and Dektol to suit, but they will always add up to 2 minutes.
     
     My Infrared stuff tends to be quite contrasty, due to the fact that I 
     almost always use a Hoya Red Polarizer when using HIE film. This 
     filter really emphasizes both the effects of the red filter on the 
     film as well as the effects of the polarizer.
