Hello, I can second graywolfs comment, but want to add that it always turned out to be easier with solid grade papers instead of multigrade. I used a lot of Labaphot papers in the eighties for printing XP-1, though I don't know if these are known in the States, too. I very much like the new Kodak T-CN400 on Tetenal "work", too.
