Hi all,
I am the person who originally raised the question about the Sepia
Toning, the fact that Kodak had discontinued "Sepia Toner" and now only
"Sepia II Toner" was available.
Problem solved for now. Somewhere along the line, I remembered that I
had bought the last two packets of Sepia Toner in one of the photo
stores I frequent. I used that to finish my toning and, in the future,
will be buying my own chemicals and mixing my own Sepia Toner using the
formulas that were submitted to the group. Most interesting and
knowledgeable discussion of the various different kinds of Sepia Toner
formulae, of which I have taken a note and will be experimenting with in
the future. Anyway, the members of this list are great. Thanks all.
One last question. Do I still have to treat the prints in Selenium
solution for archival reasons. I usually use Selenium 1:9 at 8-10
minutes to alter the print, but just for archival purposes, I imagine a
more dilute solution and shorter time would be sufficient. I seem to
remember 1:20 and 3 minutes. Is this correct? For archival
conservation what would be considered a sufficient dilution?
Again, thanks to all who contributed. I learnt a lot about Sepia Toning.
Cheers,
Bogdan
