nathan_congdon Posted March 26, 2001 Share Posted March 26, 2001 Dick Arentz mentions using crocian scarlet (spelling?) to spot negs in his book on Platinum printing. I had never heard of it before, but then saw and bought some at a store over the weekend. The entire sum of Kodak's included instructions for the use of this chemical, sold in dry form, was "Don't eat it." While this seems a sound basis on which to build, it's somewhat less in the way of user support than I might have hoped for. What sort of dilution does one tend to start with? Any special hints/concerns/issues? Anything special about using it for Platinum versus silver (I'll be using it on negs for both)? Can it be washed off easily if I overdo it? Toxicity (if not deliberately ingested straight from the bottle)? <p> Thanks in advance for your help! <p> Nathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_f._stein Posted March 26, 2001 Share Posted March 26, 2001 Get a hold of Looten's On Photographic Enlarging for the definite before-we-had Photoshop take on crocian scarlet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dean_lastoria Posted March 26, 2001 Share Posted March 26, 2001 Second that Looten's -- He looks like Danny Kaye, but he made me almost want to buy a bottle -- well 6 bottles, but I'm too clumsy. Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
