Re: haunted VDB
Ah!
I "develop" in plain water for 5 minutes and fix.
I don't change the water during development. Should I?

Forgot to add this between 1 and 2:
- Wash in plain water for further 4-5 minutes, chaning water at
least 4
times.
BTW, I was chaning fixer every 3 prints since it was very diluted...

Are the prints also fading along with changing color? If they're
also fading
I'd suspect the porfolio and/or a mistake in processing. Have you
cleared
and washed well the prints? Do you notice a yellow stain (most
notably when
looking under a bluish fluorescent light?
See my procedure below:
1. Wash 2 mins in 2 separate baths of dilute citric acid (a dessert
spoon to
2000ml water)
2. Gold tone (optional)
3. Fix for 2 mins. in 2% plain sodium thiosulfate
4. Wash for 15 minutes chaning water at least 5 times.
No problems with untoned (yet!) and toned prints as old as 6 years
so far...

Hi Cor,
No treatment other than normal processing and washing.

Hi Folks
After printing really brown prints with traditional formula on arches
aquarelle and archiving them in a portfolio, some prints changed from
brown to gray.
They were perfect 20 days before.
Does anyone know what might be happening?
Thanks in advance,
Joao
