RE: VDB nasty staining problem
OK since I am a devoted VDB printer I will add my process. I rinse in 3 successive baths of water with a small amount of acidic acid. Followed by a wash of 3-4 minutes in fresh water. Then toned in palladium directly into 5% hypo never had a stain problem. I know we all have our own methods that work for our own particular work, and this is the beauty of these processes but I am always interested to share these eclectic methods.

Yeah, I would have expected a blank print, but the DMax was quite deep. Maybe it's the Weston paper she used?!
