>My experience with toning prints like Kallitypes, VDB, pt, pd, etc is that it is more of an intensifier/toner than the toners we are familiar with in silver gelatin printing. Due to the intensification effect, contrast goes up as well. One should make a lighter and less contrasty print first, and then tone to the proper contrast-intensity level. My platinum toning formula works this way.
