    Make 1% solution by adding 1 gram gold chloride to 100cc of water.

    Add the gold chloride solution to the volume of water indicated. Dissolve the sodium thiocyanate, separately, in 125cc. of water. Then add thiocyanate solution slowly into the gold chloride solution while stirring rapidly.

    Suggested : Immerse a well washed print, preferable treated with hypo eliminator, for 10 min. @68&deg;F. or until a just perceptible change in image tone , wash 10 min. in running water and dry as usual. May also be used with fine grained films and plates for maximum permanency.

    For use, pour into a tray supported in a water bath and heat to 120&deg; F. At this temperature prints will tone in 12 to 215 min. Never use the solution above 120&deg;F. Toning should not be continued longer then 20 min. at 120&deg;F. It is not satisfactory with warm-tone papers such as Professional Azo.

    to prepare bleach, mix 1 part A with 1 part water; to prepare toner, mix 1 part B with 8 parts water.

    Place a well washed print in the bleach until only faint traces of the halftones are left and the black of the shadows has disappeared, about 1 min. Rinse thoroughly in cold water. Place in toner until original detail returns, about 30 seconds, then immerse for 5 min. in a hardening bath of 1 part F-1a and 16 parts water.

    This toning bath tends to give warm tones with papers such as Velox, Kodabromide and Royal Bromide. With inherently warm-tone papers such as Azo and Kodalure, it tends to produce rather disagreeable yellow tones.

    This bath tones the halftones white and the shadows blue. If the resulting image is immersed in any of the basic dyes for T-17a, the dye is mordanted to the halftones leaving the shadows more or less blue. By varying the dyes, the halftones may be varied at will.

    Tone until the shadows are deep blue, then wash for 10 to 15 minutes. Immerse in the basic dye solutions used for dye toning for 5 to 15 minutes until the desired depth of color is reached. Wash for 5 to 10 minutes until the highlights are clear.

    The Nelson Gold Toner has the advantage that a variety of excellent brown tones may be obtained by varying the time of toning, the prints may be removed at any time when the desired color is reached. It is particularly recommended for use with warm-toned papers.

    For use add 125cc of solution B slowly to solution A while stirring rapidly. The bath should not be used until after it has become cold and has formed a sediment, then pour off the clear liquid for use.

    Pour the clear solution into a tray supported in a water bath and heat to 110&deg;F. During toning the temperature should be between 100 and 110&deg;F. When the desired tone is obtained, 5 to 20 minutes, remove and rinse the prints. When all prints have been toned, return them to the fixing bath for 5 minutes, then wash and dry normally.

    The bath should be revived at interval by the addition of solution B, add 4cc per 50 8X10 prints.

    For Blue Tones : Omit sepia toning and place well-washed black-and-white prints directly into Agfa 231 solution.

    For Mixed Tones : Prints should be incompletely toned in a Hypo-Alum toner, Agfa 222, and washes before treatment in Agfa 231. Wash and dry normally.

    Solution should be prepared with distilled water if possible, use plastic trays. Prints for blue toning should be fixed in plain, non-hardening hypo bath. When prints have been fully toned in Agfa 241, they will be greenish in appearance, but will easily wash out to a clear blue color when placed in running water. Some intensification of the print usually occurs, so the prints should be slightly light.

    Wash water should be acidified with acetic acid since the blue tone is quite soluble in alkaline solutions. Pleasing variations in the tone can be obtained by bathing the washed prints in a &frac12;% solution (5.0g per liter) of Borax which produces softer, blue-gray tones, the extent depending on the length of treatment.

    To use mix equal parts A and B, the mixed solution will not keep well and should be discarded after use. Prints must be thoroughly washed before toning. Immerse the prints one at a time and tone until the desired color is obtained. The prints will progress from black to a deep brown and finally to red chalk. It is important to remove prints at the exact moment that the desired color is obtained. Wash prints for 30 minutes after toning. Dassonville Copper Toner was worked out for pure bromide paper. Note : if pink tints show up in toning, add more potassium citrate to either solution.

    This 2 solution formula will produce permanent blue tones on bromide paper of a very desirable Holland blue shade. The thoroughly fixed and wash print is bleached in solution A, then washed in running water until free of stain. It is then placed in solution B until fully toned. After washing until free of stain the print should be fixed for 2 minutes in a fresh acid fixing bath. Wash and dry normally.

    Use a plastic tray. Heat toner to 90&deg;F for a warmer tone. Prints will tone in 10 to 20 minutes. 1 liter should tone 50 8X10 prints. Wash and dry normally. Note ; this toner can be used like Agfa 231 for Red, Blue or multi tones in the same fashion.

    </TABLE>

    To use : mix 50cc of 1, 2, 3 with 500cc water, this is sufficient for five 11X14 prints. The mixed solution will keep for several hours, but will deteriorate after that time. Prints should be thoroughly washed before toning, average prints will tone in 15 minutes. Remove and wash when desired tone is reached. This toner is recommended for fog and snow pictures. Do not use this toner with bromide papers, it's for chloride and chlorobromide papers.

    </TABLE>

    Prepare immediately before use, as prepared toner is only useable for about 2 hours after mixing. Use at any temperature from 60&deg; to 100&deg;F. At 80&deg;F, toning will require 3 to 5 minutes for fast papers; 1 to 4 minutes for slow papers. Discard solution after use.
