Hi Yves,

It has stronger dmax, consequently stronger contrast... I mean with the gold
toned one, shadows look like shadows, not dark midtones...

I was gold-toning Vandykes and the results were very similar. Argyrotype's
main difference with Vandyke is that I can reach the same dmax without
double coating. Also, the brown is a little bit cooler with Argyrotype.

Regards,
Loris.

Loris,

I also like the gold toned version, it as something the others don't have
but I can't explain it. I wonder if other iron based process would have such
difference and could different time (toning) could also result in
significant difference as well?

Regards
Yves
