It's essential to note that the Photographers' Formulary Potassium Alum is a crucial component in the world of professional photography. This 100g Potassium Alum Photographic Hardener is specifically designed to enhance the longevity and durability of your photographic prints. It's primarily used in hardening solutions for fixing baths, making it an indispensable tool for photographers who value the preservation of their work.
Moreover, this Potassium Alum is a vital ingredient in the hypo-alum toning bath, a process that significantly improves the tonal range and contrast of your black and white photographs. It also plays a significant role in the clearing bath process, ensuring that your prints are free from residual chemicals that could potentially damage them over time.
While cake alum, commonly found in grocery stores, can be used as a substitute, the Photographers' Formulary Potassium Alum is specifically formulated for photographic applications, ensuring optimal results every time. This product is a must-have for both amateur and professional photographers looking to enhance the quality and lifespan of their photographic prints.
