I'm not Richard Knoppow, but I've been using this technique since about 1980.
I have never had a problem with uneven toning or staining. Prints from 1980 still look fine. Russ not Richard Knoppow Gorman On Aug 31, 2007, at 10:09 AM, BOB KISS wrote:
For Richard Knoppow,I have heard many different opinions recently and, though you and have disagreed, I have always respected that your postings have been solidly based on documented facts. Soooooooooo, I am asking you to confirm the proper methods for toning fiber based silver gelatin prints with KRST. Since my first reading of the Ansel Adams books and as late as the 2006 G-23 document from Kodak, it has been said that one should proceed from the second fix of a two fix process DIRECTLY into a KRST toning bath comprising working strength Kodak Hypo Clearing Agent and KRST, mixed to one’s preferred dilution. (I am not asking here about the proper dilution as that has been covered extensively recently) They go so far as to say that one should NOT rinse or wash between 2nd fix and KHCA/KRST bath as stains may result. Please confirm that it is correct to go directly from the 2nd fix into the KHCA/KRST solution and that this will not produce yellow stains later.Thanks in advance… CHEERS!
