Hello everyone,
I would like to experiment with two-bath paper developers, could you please point me to any ready-made or formula-based ones that you may know of?
The idea of getting a "limited" amount of black on paper in the second bath with time and temperature being not so critical, makes it worth trying, I think.

Thank you for your replies but maybe I was a bit vague in my description. I am mostly interested in a "split" 2-bath paper developer, not a process that involves two baths each containing a "complete" developer. Similarly to 2-bath film developing, I would like to know if it is possible to have an "activator" in the second bath that enables the chemical(s) absorbed by the paper in the first bath to develop the image up to a "limited" level of black. Can it be done? Any formulas?
