It's been a while, but I believe the blue toner was used to give whiter whites in the old fiber papers that everyone used b4 the introduction of RC (resin coated) papers.

Yes, it will look whiter, however your dark areas will be a tint of blue, Your blue toner may leave a bit of a yellow stain in the white areas as well, to remove theese you need to wash thuroughly and painting the areas with a small paintbrush dipped in saltwater will help remove it. Check my gallery in the next week or 2 and I will have uploaded my bluetoned print.
