You can use the dichro- head to do it; do not need different brands of filters for different brands of paper; can probably find the dichro starting points for equivalent VC filters on the Kodak site (buried somewhere no doubt), or experiment. If memory serves, the #1 filter is light yellow and the rest are increasingly magenta. Of course that's not very useful but you could experiment as that is what will be most meaningful anyway.
