Bob, I do multiple toners and have for quite some time, washed my prints
before toning. This is in part because NOT all prints are worth toning so I
make my first cut after a break from printing. The biggest stain problem
that I have seen is where prints are toned after drying on racks face down
where they pick up the screen pattern from the drying racks.
I work at 1:9 to 1:20 with selenium depending on paper and desired tone.
Following the develop, stop, double fix, hold, hypo clear, wash, fresh hypo
clear, Selenium Toner (sometimes KRST), hypo clear, wash workflow, I have
not had problems. Some of these steps are to over come Dallas water based on
Doug's writing that Richard shared with us. While in Taos, the pre hypo
before toning and after wash was not part of the work flow.

Subject: [pure-silver] PSE CONFIRM KRST
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!
BOB
