RE: POP process

There's a very nice article about toning POP in the book "Coming into
Focus..." (edited by John Barnier). There's a visual table showing
different effects achieved by different toners and combining toners.

2. Very different results, particularly in image colour, but also in
contrast range, exposure requirements and possibly tonality can be
obtained using different toning strategies. This is a benefit (wide
range of possible results) but also may be the paper's achilles heel
(difficult to achieve consistency due to toner exhaustion).
 
 7. The only strategy for contrast control is to change the toning. This
may be a problem for you if your nagatives are fixed, the negative
contrast and characteristics might not suit the paper. The only thing to
do is to try it!
