    That is likely the same toner, but if this is an 8x10 print, 25 ml is sufficient. 35-40ml should do an 11x14.

    tgtaylor, thanks for the example. It looks just slightly purple to me.

    Jim, how do you apply the small volume of toner to your prints? Flat bottom tray? Glass rod?

    Caveat emptor: I may not have toned this print after all. I have been using that toner consistently on kallitypes for a couple of years - gradually increasing the toner time to about 25 minutes. But for this print, my first and so far only albumin, I may have left it untoned as I didn't identify it as being toned on my website which I normally do when I tone. The reddish tones seem to support that. It strikes me as being very "Watkinesque" which I admire and would imply that Watkins didn't tone his prints.

    I use the tray to develop, tone, fix, clear, and wash - a 11x14 flat bottom Crescoe.

The problem with this approach is 1) you may end up with some mixed and not used at the end of the session and 2) succeeding prints will take longer to reach appropriate color . My current stock solutions are more than 5 years old and still good..
    Thank you for your reply and expertise, Jim.
    Greatly appreciated!!
    Good details in the Christopher James book...

    Thank you for pointing out the formula in Christopher James' book.
    Just located it and will proceed accordingly!

    Can I assume the 3rd 2015 edition of Christopher James "The Book of Alternative Photographic Processes" has significant additional data than Ed 1 2001 and Ed 2 2008?

    Just learned Ed 1 is 400 pages, Ed 2 is 640 pages and Ed 3 is 800 pages

    Ed 1 is as cheap as $16, Ed 2 $42 and Ed 3 is $100

    I also was just told I need right eye surgery and signed papers that I may go blind in that eye...surgery #2...

    I will buy Ed 3
