I also used Viradon new this week for the first time, I usually tone with
the Tetnal kit but as is the case you quote, agfa is easier to get.
I diluted a bit more than the 24:1 and tones Agfa Fibre paper, good results
but the post-toning also took me by surprise.
The next day I did more toning in the diluted viradon (which had been stores
in an air tight bottle over night) The toner soon went milky and left a
'film' over the prints. It was impossibble to remove once the prints were
dry. As is usually the case, I then did some reading, Tim Rudman discusses
this in his Toning book, it seems it happens when the toner is too diluted.
I did not use a sulphite bath, but washed the prints in running water for
about 2 hours. Will they be OK in the long term? I understand the concept of
a stop bath but should one use the bath after the toning anyway?
Cheers for now
Harry
