RE: Ferric Oxalate or Ferric Ammonium Oxalate
Sandy, Yes, that is all you need to make the Ware formulations. You will notice that his metal salt concentrations are slightly higher than is typically used in DOP. I have used the ammonium tetrachloropalladate for DOP printing as well. I think it has a visually deeper Dmax and a more neutral tone than the sodium salt version.
