APUG - View Single Post - Pink or Magenta Cast with T-max, new Tri-X, and other films (not blue or green cast)

Could someone explain to me why a magenta/pink/purple cast to a negative is not going to alter printing contrast with VC paper when a magenta filter is often used to alter contrast when printing on VC paper. (I realise that the exact colour of the VC filter and the film cast are probably not identical, but they are both going to cut some green, aren't they?)
