Toning of Black & White Prints

Before engaging in toning, it can not be stressed enough that the prints to be toned should be properly fixed and washed. The only exception for toning of prints that have been improperly processed might be a conceptual or aesthetic consideration, and to achieve this in a convincing manner usually requires a high degree of control from many past experiments.

While toning Varies from protective coatings that have little colouration of the image, subtle colour variations, right through to bold colour shifts, it should be remembered (with a few exceptions) that toning can not make a good print out of a bad image.

Safety Information
It is recommended that for safety the following steps be followed.


  •  The use of protective rubber gloves are recommend when handling and using these chemicals
  •  Any spillage should be washed away promptly with plenty of water
  • The area used for toning should be well ventilated
  •  Anyone with respiratory problems, sensitive skin or skin disorders should be especially careful with these chemicals.
