    I want to make regular negs for silver prints (and carry fewer holders) and focus on film efforts on attaining that in the field. I can make these kallitype negatives anytime. I also don't want to change exposure habits I have spent so long cultivating. But I know many do.

    Re: The Kallitype Thread

    How long will a Kallitype keep before development? well I coated and exposed this sheet on 25 June - about 6 weeks back - but decided that I printed it a little too deep and coated and developed another sheet which I developed and placed on my website. This sheet sat face down on top of a Jobo all that time being turned over from time to time to observe any changes. the "whisper" appeared to darken a little but otherwise exhibited no change. Before development today:



    After fixing:



    Had I kept the sheet in a paper-safe in a more controlled environment I suspect the resulting print would have turned out better. I did not use distilled water as I normally do and guesstimated the amount of hypo and citric acid. Didn't bother to tone it.

    Gold Toned Kallitype on Ruscombe Herschel. (8x10, Cooke Series XVa 311mm, Ilford Delta 100) I've been making a lot of kallitypes over the last month or so. (And trying the process with a variety of papers.) Really love the process and purple-black color of the gold toned prints. After being turned off by what seemed to be an excessive number of trays and bottles required by the process, I tried doing the single tray technique. Works like a charm.

    Re: The Kallitype Thread

    I've only ever used one tray, and 5 bottles of solutions... sodium citrate developer, citric acid, gold toner (if i use it), fix, selenium toner (if I use it). Over the past 10 years, I've tried just about every developer concoction, but settled on sodium citrate. I also have a bottle of sulfamic acid when a paper needs to be acidified...I guess that's 6 bottles!

    Re: The Kallitype Thread

    I'm using the Sodium Acetate/Ammonium Citrate hybrid developer that Christopher James recommends in his book. Then a short soak in distilled water. Then onto clearing (Citric Acid). Then a tap water rinse before gold toning. Rinse again, then a short (2 min) Fix, rinse again, then Hypo Clear (1 min). So 6 bottles here as well. Though sometimes I do a double clear with EDTA as well as Citric Acid.

    The distilled water soak is something I just started. It really clears a lot of the yellow stain out of the paper. The clearing baths last much longer as a result.

    More work than Platinum/Palladium, but the print changes during each step, so it's quite interesting to watch the transformation.
