One thing about printing on fiber based paper is just that they tone very well. Now, you can tone an RC print. But, a fiber based paper will tone much better than an RC print. And, what I did right here is this print on my left is toned in sepia. Which gives it almost a very warm some say nostalgic old fashioned look. And, this print is not toned. Now, sepia toner is a toner that you can use. It's a two-bath toner. This is bleach to it and then the actual sepia itself. The sepia itself has a very strong sulfur smell. It's not pleasant to be around. Whenever you're toning, you want to tone in a extremely well ventilated space. Sometimes, I only tone outside. Safety is also a factor in your toning. Please make sure that there are no kids around or pets or even adults who might not know what you're doing. So, always say hey I'm toning today. They'll know by the smell you're toning. So, again sepia versus straight.
