Subject: [pure-silver] Viradon - cooling print tones!?


I have just had the experience of Viradon producing cool blacks. I used a
newthe standard dilution for new Viradon for 2 minutes, followed by stop
bath and 30 minute wash.

Normally I get just a hint of warmth in the print but this time it actually
cooled off the print tones.

I can only attribute this to temperature. As I don't want to fog paper with
the fumes, I tone in trays in the back yard. It was pretty cool this weekend
(just above freezing) and I can only think that this has changed the image
colour.

I'm assuming that I can still repeat the toning process to arrive at a hint
of warmth, this time with heated trays.

Has anybody else had similar experiences?

Polysulfide toners do this to microfilm when used as a protectant. Evidently the color depends on the nature of the emulsion and the developer. What combination was used here?
