I also have wondered whether there were other more "arty" toners around
(coffee/tea, etc) but of late, I am much more interested in the archival
properties of the fibre-based paper/toner combinations. For me,
permanence is everything after losing literally hundreds (over thirty
years worth) of RC prints and negs in a storage disaster. Fibre based
prints all survived intact. Never again, boys & girls! They are my
history.
I have used the Ilford Warmtone paper with the Fotospeed variable sepia
toner with great success.

Here's a general question - how do you season wood?
I use a combination of a worcestershire marinade and a blend of three
peppers.
