====== Selenium (toning) ======

===== Instructions for use (paper) =====


==== Capacity ====
Datasheets (Kodak, Ilford, Labor Partner) suggests that 1000ml stock solution has capacity to tone 100 sheets of 8x10" paper. From that, the approximate capacity for diluted selenium toner has been calculated and is shown below:
^  Dilution  ^  24x30  ^  30x40  ^
|  1:3   |   18    |   10    |
|  1:9   |   7-8   |    4    |
|  1:19  |   3-4   |    2    |


==== Procedure ====

  * Prints should be fully fixed and washed before toning. Alternatively, prints can be transferred directly into the toning bath from the (non-acidic) fixing bath, without prior washing. 
  * After toning, briefly wash the print in water, then treat with HCA.
  * It is recommended to give the print a "full wash".



==== Dilutions and times ====


=== General comments ===
== For increasing D-max, with minimal tone change ==
KRST 1+19, approx 2-4 min. Prolonged times can yield a decrease in D-max.

== For a change in tone ==
KRST 1+9, approx 3 min or more.

| MGWT     | MGWT       | 1+9       | 10    | Noticable change in tone towards a cool brown.                     |
| MGWT     | MGWT       | 1+19      | 20    | Slight cooling of, barely visible.                                 |
