PM> There are two recipes in the Kallitype chapter, the first
PM> one is called the Van Dyke Process and the second is the
PM> Kallitype.
You are probably refering to the book of William Crawford: "The keepers of light"
PM> The problems you describe sound like inadequate fixation,
PM> but in the case of the second process another problem is
PM> removing all of the iron. You certainly need to replace the
PM> fixer very often.
I find the fixation quite a delicate step of the process. I don't think we must fixate a japan paper as long as an heavy 600g Hannemuller.
PM> There is a more recent and detailed book on the Kallitype -
PM> I can't for the moment remember the title/author - which
PM> would be worth looking at.
If you happen to find it back, please send me a message.
regards,
Philippe Moroux.
