PRINTING VELOX. 



Velox should be properly exposed. Un- 

 der exposing and forcing development 

 never yields a satisfactory print, producing 

 brown stains in most cases. 



After mixing the developer, allow it to 

 stand a few hours before using ; also use 

 care in regulating it by introducing potas- 

 sium. 



To produce rich, fine grained blacks, mix 

 hypo about 30 strong, hydrometer test, and 

 to 8 ounces of solution add 15 minims 

 stronger ammonia water. This addition of 

 ammonia seems to be the only medium 

 that will produce fine, soft, deep blacks. 

 After the print is developed, rinse thor- 

 oughly and place in the above fixing bath. 

 Never develop a print full and strong. It 

 will always fix out stronger than it looks 

 after the development is apparently com- 

 pleted. 



Always thoroughly rinse the paper im- 

 mediately after exposure; also after devel- 

 opment. 



Satisfactory sepia tones on velox are ob- 

 tained by treating a print in the ordinary 

 way, except slightly overprinting it, then 

 develop and fix as usual, and any time 

 thereafter put through the following sepia 

 toning bath : 



Soda hyposulphite 10 ounces 



Ground alum 2 ounces 



Boiling water 50 ounces 



Dissolve the hypo in water first, then add 

 the alum slowly. When all is dissolved the 

 solution should be milk white. In this 

 bath prints will tone in 15 to 20 minutes, 

 but will bleach out somewhat, so be careful 

 to print deeper than usual. After toning 

 wash as usual and remove any sulphur re- 

 maining on surface of print by sponging it 

 on front and back. 



Black prints may be converted into brown 

 or red ones by short or long immersion in 

 the following uranium bath. The black 

 changes to brown, gradually getting warm- 

 er in tint until it becomes a decided red. 



Water 20 ounces 



Ferricyanide potassium 20 grains 



Uranium nitrate 20 grains 



Acetic acid (glacial) 1 ounce 



Rich blue tones, suitable for marine 

 views, are obtained by combining a bath as 

 follows and immersing the finished print in 

 it until the desired effect is produced: 



10 per cent solution ammonia-citrate . 

 of iron 2 drams 



10 per cent solution potassium ferri- 

 cyanide 2 drams 



10 per cent solution nitric acid. .. . 4 drams 



Water 40 drams 



After toning wash until whites have 

 cleared well. This bath is poisonous, and 

 care should be taken not to use it if fingers 

 are cut or scratched. — W. E. Bertling, in 

 Western Camera Notes.
