Beautiful, did you tone these "digitally" or tone the paper? It's a good tone choice.

The producer of the emulsion has shut down, ilford Harmon are trying to find a suitable replacement. It's unsure if this will come back, but it sounds like they (ilford harman) are trying.

Also, I am probably using the wrong names as I always forget what the official name of the company is, and since both companies names are very similar I didn't want to get them confused, but the original emulsion maker was a company with the name Harmon but was not the one that owns ilford and Kentmere but a different Harmon, and that one closed. "Ilford Harmon" had a deal with them to produce the emulsion. So now they are faced with trying to replace it. I hope they do!

The paper is developped in caffenol, the tone is natural. Caffenol and dpp can often do a great combination

What's dpp

[Alessandro Bocchi]

I think DPP means Direct Positive Paper

Very very beutiful. Would you like to share here with us the receipt you use to produce the caffenol you use to develop the direct positive paper.

To produce caffenol...
You need:
some sodium bicarbonate. (in Europe, we can find it in pH+ for swimming pool, in US, it's known as washing soda)
Some instant coffee (cheapest is the best)
Vitamin c (ascorbic acid)

For 4x5 films:
(ie 500ml)
27g sodium carbonate
20g coffee
8g vitamin c

In 250ml of hot water, include your sodium, then the coffee. Hot water make it easier.
Then add 250ml cold water, then vitamin c. Then mix all
Let it quiet 5 minutes, then it is ready...
Replace a classic developper
