• Selenium Toned Prints Have A Subtle Look That No Other Type Of Toner Can Yield; Dmax Is Enhanced With A Corresponding “Bump” Of Print Quality
• Toxic – Must Be Handled In A Well Ventilated Area And Treated As Hazardous Waste
• Multigrade Warmtone Papers Are Very Responsive To Selenium Toners: Using Higher Dilutions (E.G.: 1+10, 1+20) Gives A Slight Cooling Of The Image Tone And A Shift In Hue Towards Red; When You Use At Lower Dilutions (E.G.: 1+3, 1+5), You Can Get A Purplish Brown
• Colder Papers React Less Rapidly, But They Still Benefit From Selenium Toning’S Highly Effective Deepening Of The Maximum Black And Its Expansion Of The Entire Tonal Range; The Reaction Of Selenium On The Silver Halide (Agx) Of The Print Hardens The Adherence Of The Image To The Paper; This Improves The Chemical Stability Of The Print As Well As Its Permanence And Archival Properties While Also Defining Its Appearance
• For A Standard Dilution Of 1+3, The Capacity Of The Toning Solution Is At Least The Equivalent Of 25 Sheets Of 20.3X25.4Cm (8X10″) Per Liter
• Working Strength Solutions Will Normally Last For Up To 6 Months In Full, Tightly Capped Bottles, 1 Month In Half Tightly Capped Bottles, And Up To 7 Days In An Open Tray
