Be captivated by the timeless allure of monochromatic photography with Formulary's Polysulfide Toner, expertly crafted to infuse your black and white prints with a deep, dark brown hue reminiscent of the classic Kodak T-8. This toner is a standout choice for photographers and darkroom enthusiasts seeking to add a touch of warmth and richness to their images.
Formulary's Polysulfide Toner is meticulously formulated with potassium polysulfide, commonly known as liver of sulfur, and sodium carbonate. These key ingredients work in harmony to deposit silver sulfide onto the photographic image, ensuring a transformation that is both visually striking and enduring.
The toning process with this solution is a straightforward and rewarding experience, typically taking about 15 to 20 minutes at room temperature to achieve the desired effect. The resulting brown tones are significantly deeper and more intense than those produced by the Hypo-Alum Toner, which yields much lighter shades. Regardless of the toner you choose, both promise to deliver permanent results that stand the test of time.
This versatile toner is compatible with a wide array of paper types, with the exception of Kodabromide paper, allowing for creative flexibility in your printmaking endeavors. The kit is designed to prepare 1 liter of working solution, sufficient for toning approximately 35 prints sized 8x10 inches, making it a practical choice for both personal projects and professional assignments.
Included in the package is an additional sachet of sodium carbonate, which serves to partially rejuvenate the spent working solution, extending its usability and enhancing your darkroom efficiency. The working solution itself boasts remarkable stability, ensuring that it remains effective for extended periods, allowing you to focus on your craft without concern for the longevity of your toning bath.
Elevate your black and white prints with the rich, dark tones of Formulary's Polysulfide Toner, and experience the satisfaction of producing gallery-quality work right in your own darkroom.
