I am so impressed by all you guys who work with chemicals this way! I mean it. I just try to get good images and a good print in my darkroom. I wouldn't begin to know where to get such things or what to do with them. Ya'll are something!

I need to Blue (iron) tone a print today and was
looking at my formula I've used in the past and
comparing with those I found online.
What I've used in the past is this formula:
SOLUTION A
WATER                                            206
mls
POTASSIUM FERRICYANIDE        2 gms
GLACIAL ACETIC ACID                  30 mls

SOLUTION B
WATER
          309 mls
FERRIC AMMONIUM CITRATE (GREEN)     3 gms
GLACIAL ACETIC ACID
45 mls

As I recall and from samples I have that I did a long
time ago, the borders aquire a blue cast as well.  I'm
wondering if anyone has any experience with other
formulas such as this one that might NOT tone the
borders as well.

TONER WORKING SOLUTION A
Distilled Water (120°F/48°C)     500    ml
Ferric Ammonium Citrate                 8g
Potassium Ferricyanide                 8g
Succinic (tartaric) acid*                37    g
Distilled Water to make            1000    ml
