By the way, for your application, hypo alum toner might be better
suited. This type of toner has one problem with my processing (it
tends to remove silver from prints, decreasing density unless the bath
is primed with enough silver nitrate) and I don't have much experience
with it. But this may even work to your advantage. Hypo alum toner is
an odorless direct sulfiding toner (no prior bleach required). The
painful part is that it is slow working and requires heating.
