I was given a few packs of Portriga Rapid, but all are badly fogged
and unusable. They can be usable for hypo alum toners but I don't use
it...
All good known stabilizers, perhaps besides mercury compounds which I
have no experience with (and industry shouldn't be using by now), make
image hue cool so warmtone papers may be more difficult to stabilize
in general. I've asked a couple of emulsion experts and a processing
expert but they had no idea how I could stabilize chloride emulsion
without losing warmtone property.
