I use the New Chrysotype process which was developed by Mike Ware. The gold
solution is, if memory serves me, 36 %.
Bleeding is a problem particularly with papers which are not sized with
gelatine (I often use Arches Platine). Another solution is, of course,
masking. But there may still be bleeding in areas of high contrast within
the image.
