Re: VDB Color
Hi Joe,
Thanks for the link.
What's KRST?
Gold toners, I noticed, make the print black isn't it?
Cheers,
Joao

As Don relates, the thiourea/gold toner is particularly good in
terms of effect and cost. I use Clerc's gold toner formula which
can also be found on the unblinkingeye.com site in Wynn White's VDB
article.
IMHO, selenium toner is a poor choice for VDB and if used, must be
diluted on the order of 1+500 or more.

Drop the selenium idea, if you're going to use ready made selenium

which incorporate ammonium thiosulfate that is... Best toners for

gold, platinum or palladium toners.
See Sandy Kings Kallitype article here for gold and/or pt/pd toners
for
Kallitype (and Vandyke) here:

page 2) Gold
Toner #2 (gold-thiourea) is particularly good in terms of results and
expense.

Don and Francis,
Thank you for your answers.
The fixer was too strong as it bleached part of the highlight tones.
I corrected it and I'm getting more consistent results.
Can I tone VDBs with selenium?
If yes, what would be the proper dilution and what colors should I
expect?
As for gold toners, I need a good formula.
Does anyone have it?
What colors expect?
Thanks again,
Joao
