Hi Christian (or is it : Hi Nze ?),

Thanks a lot, but again a question about the dyes -I am not familiar with
it,
until now I only do bromoil as an Alt process-.

Where can I buy the dyes you mention, like auramine,chrysoidine, safranine
or
the list you mentioned in your first message like :
methyl violet
cocceine orange
green sulfo 2 b
green naphtol
amarante for pink
violet acid 5 b

in this process you need to have dye basic in opposiotion to acid so you
can use what you want only if it's basic
Or is it possible to make things yourself ?you can do it your self
like mixing red congo with basic chemicals like sodium hydroxyde or borax
if it's acid it would stain on all the print if it's basic it would stain
only the mordancer picture

Thanks a lot in advance,
