Oh boy! a convert! That's the ticket. What you need, Christine, is ferric
amm. citrate green, same as w/ cyanotype. Two birds, one poison.
For what it's worth, I have not been real happy w/ selenium-toned
argyrotypes (on Buxton). But a couple days ago I tested w/ and w/o any
toning at all. Some of my images look REALLY good untoned. Be sure to try it
both ways. I haven't gold-toned yet because I need my gold for some albumen
I'm about to try, and there isn't enough to go around right now.

Subject: argyrotype chemistry ?
Hello all,
I have decided to try to make argyrotypes and was preparing an order
from Artcraft Chemicals, but I am confused about one of the ingredients
and was curious if the chem gurus here could clear it up for me. The
items needed are Sulfamic Acid, Silver I Oxide, and Ammonium Iron III
Citrate green. Artcraft has Ammonium Citrate Dibasic and Ferric
Ammonium Citrate green. Which should I purchase?
Thanks,
Christine
