Unfortunately most manufacturers have changed their chloribromide papers
and they don't split tone anymore. Forte Polygrade Warmtone splits well,
but I just heard they are changing their paper to a "more brown tone".
That means it will look terrible toned. Try to find some old stock
before it gets bought up. Freestyle Sales co sells a german warm tone
paper called "superba". The grade #2 split tones very well, but the #3
is no good at all. Good luck.
