Joe,
Actually, I like the colour of my salt prints if I get the borax toner to
work as I want it; I just wanted some variation, and therefore tried the
starch.
Initially I used sodium citrate in the salting solution, but I skipped it
because citric acid mixed with the silvernitrate seems to have exactly the
same effect. 
Do you think tartaric or oxalic acid in the nitrate solution, or rochelle
salt in the salting solution might give different hues?
