Witho, could we get your website address again?

Hi Witho,
I have definitely decided to give AFO a try and your work is superb so
please post working procedures here if no problem.
I have a couple of your prints handing in my house and the beautiful
tonalities you get are just outstanding.
Best,
Sandy

Hello Sandy and Eric,
Most of my prints are made with AFO. Look at my website. It is very
easy to
use both at the same time. I can give my procedures if you want. I
use AFO
because of print colour. If contrast is the most important issue I
might
choose to use the FO formula with Pt6.
Cheers,
Witho

Eric,
Wonder why that would be?
I have a very nice Ziatype print that Loris Medici gave me and it is
sharp as a tack.

Sandy, Yes the AFO is indeed a much better defined chemical than the
FO,
which can vary all over the place. POP pt/pd prints can most
certainly be
made. One thing that I seemed to see in prints made from negs that

well with FO when using AFO, are prints that look a little hazy.
That might
be OK, if you were making prints of foggy or moody scenes but for
crisp
images, not so hot. It may also be a paper pH issue, where what
works for
FO
will react differently for AFO prints. It does have a shelf life
after
mixing but last at least as long as FO if not twice as long.

Subject: Ferric Oxalate or Ferric Ammonium Oxalate
After looking at some very beautiful prints made by Loris Medici
using FAO I am evaluating the prospect of shifting from FO to
FAO. A
recent major lack of inconsistency in results from batches of of
FO
motivates in part this interest. Mike Ware recommends FAO, noting
that FO is a very ill-defined substance.
Just wondering what some of the other Pt./Pd. printers on this
list
think, pros and cons FO versus FAO?
