    This is an invaluable resource whilst I'm deepening my alt-process practice.
    You are saving so much time, money and energy with this information and I am very grateful!
    All the best from Australia! 🇦🇺

    Great video ! It's pity that Google's automatic captions generation transcribes "Kallitype" into "Calotype", which is not the same process at all :))

    Thanks, this was very helpful (and timely.) I'm getting back into salt printing and debating over gold or palladium toning. The small amounts of palladium used helps make that a more realistic option.

    I have toned my Kallitypes many different ways, and settled on Selenium. Cheap, and I love the tone.

      You don't seem to suffer from the dreaded bleaching of the highlights. What dilution do you use?

    Very many thanks for taking the time to both do this test and share your findings. I'm very new to alt printing, but not photography. I want to tone my salt prints and have a bottle of Moersch gold toner. I'm in the UK so it's the only one I can find. It is a "working solution" and is described as Thiourea, Gold Chloride. I'm inexperienced in this field and would like to know if I should dilute this toner or not. Wolfgang Moersch, the producer suggested I don't dilute. The other question is: Can I reuse the toner after it's toned my print? Thank you.

      Wolfgang Moersch posts beautiful prints he's toned with his toner so I'm inclined to follow his advice. As for reusing the toner, go ahead until it stops working. You should be able to re-tone in fresh solution at that point. Good luck and welcome to alt printing!

    Many thanks for time spent and highly detailed information. Would you expect similar results for VDB process?

    • @tnp651
      @tnp651  ปีที่แล้ว

      I have no experience with VDB. You’d have to do your own experiments.

    • @loicraux3989
      @loicraux3989 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes you will have very similar results with VDB prints, since they are also an iron+silver process.

    Tom, does the type of developer effect the toner?

    • @tnp651
      @tnp651  ปีที่แล้ว

      I’ve never found that it does. I switched to inexpensive sodium citrate developer.

    • @loicraux3989

      Since after toning, the results will be the same no matter which developer you chose, you'd better pick up the cheapest developer.
