[alt-photo] Zia standard solutions

[Vedos]

Hello List,

I'm hoping to mix my first Ziatype solutions tomorrow. I have one basic question:

I've been reading my three sources for Ziatype: The New Platinum Print by Sullivan & Weese, Alt. Proc. Condensed by Chris Anderson, and Alternative Photographic Processes (second edition) by Christopher James. They tell you to mix your stuff with 25 ml water, only Sullivan & Weese say: water *to make* 25 ml (the final volume)...

So, should I take 25ml water and dissolve into that, or dissolve into a smaller quantity and fill up to 25 ml... or does it really matter?

regards,
Jalo
