What paper are you using? There can be a world of difference in tonal
separation between various papers.

Subject: Van Dykes
I am working on a series of van-dyke brown prints. I have used the
standard mix of ferric ammonium citrate, tartaric acid, and silver
nitrate, in the usual recommended quantities, mixed 1:1:1 , fixing it
for a minute in very dilute sodium thiosulphate.
I have tried various exposures, but at darkest, it is giving me a dull
mid brown. I want to achieve that really rich blackish brown, any idea
if there's a way to get this with the chemicals I am using...can I
change the ratios of the mix to get a darker tone?
Jane.
