Re fixing vandyke prints, using an emulsion formula that does not use a
developer, but water wash and fix.
Has anyone out there experimented with a good working dilution of
hypam as a substitute for sodium thiosulphate? I have been
successfully using one tablespoon sodium thiosulphate per litre of
water formula courtesy of
Carson Graves (whose vandyke emulsion formula I have been using since 1978 I think it
is - gives great print quality by the way). But i have now run out of the right stuff and need an
emergency substitution!
many thanks in anticipation of a flood of information,
