Thanks Marc. I've read Mike Ware's article. Unfortunately the chemicals he
mentions aren't available to me here in Istanbul. Will try the other way
(similar to yours and Marek's).

Regards,
Loris.

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.
