Re: gold print

I don't remember if I had put the print under the vapor before the exposure.
Make some tests(ex : 1', 2', ...)
I am excused, the print has several years.
 If this color you excited you, does not hesitate to to be going to see the
site of ++Mike ++Ware devoted to the knowledge of this process.
I have learnt that it has written two books

good luck!

Well, I will try this with KAuCl4 (and maybe NaOW) tomorrow. I like
the color very much - I'm very excited!

Since KAuCl4 = 377.8765 g/mol and Ammonium Iron(III) Oxalate =
374.0212 g/mol. I will simply mix 20% of each (omitting 1% molar mass
difference) and try to print some test strips mixing 1:1.

Marc (and Marek), I guess the reddish/pinkish colors are obtained when
the RH of paper is low (below %40). Am I right? Probably the printout
won't be strong at this RH... What developers do you use? Or, do you
use any developer? (Mike Ware's article mentions 1% Citric Acid,
Oxalic Acid and IIRC Tartaric Acid for New Chrysotypes). How many
steps of development I should expect?

Can you (both) please elaborate some details such as RH and printout
degree, color, developer(s)?

Thanks in advance,
Loris.
