Wow! Are you by chance a professional pilot?(posted 8943 days ago)The reason I ask is that I once helped an airline pilot get sorted out in photography; it took him a _full year_ to come to grips with the notion that photography isn't like flying and there's no instrument rating.
Or iow, it took him a year to get around to just enjoying the process.
Pick a paper, any paper, something that's readily available locally rather than something weird that has to be brought in by camel caravan, and pick a developer, also a "standard" that's readily available.
Print a few boxes of it. Get to know it. If you like cool tones don't buy a paper labeled "warmtone." See what toners do to it.
Then, later, if you see a print that you like, give that paper a try. You'll be working from some experience, not just picking a combination because someone else uses it and trying to force it to fit _your_ work or forcing your work to fit the character of the paper.
Suggestions? Ilford MG IV FB in Ethol LPD 1:3 toned in selenium 1:4 two to three minutes. Neutral tone.
Personally I have reservations about someone who stands around developing paper for five or more minutes....
