...toning before fixing should protect the image better agains fading
(which I do not observe in my Kallitype printing), but toning after
fixing should be followed by yet a second fixing step, since one of the
byproducts of goldtoning is the formation of SilverChloride, and yoy do
not want that, and should be fixed out..
