  Two points: First; papers with developer incorporated are
intended for ACTIVATOR processing. Thay can be processed
in a bath of sodium carbonate. Second; just try and find a paper
with developer incorporated. Over the years I've tested well over
a half dozen, VC RC, Graded RC, VC FB, Graded FB, and
found NONE.

In a word, for most purposes developer incorporate papers
are NON-EXISTANT. Dan
