I'm messing around with my first Salt Paper Kit. So to those who's done that, pl ease help out these questions:-
a. The instruction says Silver Nitrate by itself isn't sentitive to light. Does it mean I can mix it into solution in daylight?
b. Can I use the regular rapid fixer to fix the print, instead of using the pack of sodium Thiosulfate that comes with the kit?
c. I've seen some spray starch in the supermarket. Can these sprays be used in p lace of the salting solution (trying to simplify as well as to get a warm tone h ere)? Are these sprays acidic? Any brand to recommend?
d. It says the Gold Toner will shift the original warm tone of prints to blue wh ich wouldn't work for me. So what is the minimum time to tone with gold toner fo r permanance (trying to minimise the blue cast here)? Any other types of toner t hat will keep the warm tone and at the same time gives permanance to the print?
e. Is relative humidity of surrounding important during printing/coating process ?
Thanks,
Aaron
