Discover the unparalleled quality of Photographers' Formulary Tannic Acid, a premium 1 lb. container of high-grade chemical essential for the discerning photographer's toolkit. This professional-grade tannic acid is a versatile agent, commonly utilized as a reducer and mordant in the meticulous art of black and white film development. It plays a pivotal role in the preparation of dry plates through the revered Tannin Process developed by Major Russell, ensuring that your photographic work retains its timeless allure.

Crafted for effectiveness and reliability, this tannic acid is also the key ingredient in the toning of cyanotypes, providing photographers with the ability to achieve rich, archival-quality prints.
