Not to hijack the thread but while we are on the topic I would love
to poke your brains about toning van dykes.
Im trying to find a way to get a more neutral tone from van dykes and
possibly a little more dmax. I want to either palladium or selenium
tone my prints because gold and platinum are a little out of my price
range. What are the tonal changes like from toning with either of
these two? Thanks!

Thank you all for your help. I tried heating the solutions, adding
more tartaric acid, and even added part c to the mix drop by drop
and I still get the same result - a precipitate. I now have 800 ml
of Vandyke solution. Last night I tried printing using the 2 year
old sensitizer and it printed just fine when I double coated. The
newer solutions printed the same as the old sensitizer once I
filtered them and double coated the paper. I guess the problem is
solved but I still find it strange and I have enough sensitizer to
last a life-time. Thank you again.
