KODAK PROFESSIONAL Sepia II Warm Toner
1. Prepare the bleach and toning baths according to the
instructions packaged with the toner.
Note: The bleach bath (Solution A) converts metallic silver
in the print to light-sensitive silver bromide. You may want
to bleach the print under safelight illumination to minimize
the effect of light on the image. However, the effect is
extremely small, and may not be noticeable.
2. Immerse a thoroughly washed print in Solution A
(bleach) at 18 to 21°C (65 to 70°F), and agitate for about
6 to 8 minutes. Bleach the print until the blacks in the
shadows have disappeared or turned yellow (depending
on print density and paper grade).
3. Rinse the print thoroughly in running water for
2 minutes.
4. Immerse the print in Solution B (toner) at 18 to 21°C
(65 to 70°F), and agitate for about 60 seconds or until no
further tone change occurs.
5. Rinse the print thoroughly in running water for
30 seconds.
6. Treat fiber-base prints in a bath made from 1 part
KODAK Liquid Hardener
*
and 13 parts water for 2 to
5 minutes.
Note: If hardening is required for resin-coated prints,
you can treat them in the same way.
Wash fiber-base prints in running water at 18 to 20°C
(65 to 75°F) for 30 minutes; wash resin-coated prints for
4 minutes.
* Eliminate this treatment if prints were treated with a hardening fixer during
processing. We recommend using a non-hardening fixer such as KODAK
PROFESSIONAL Rapid Fixer Part A only for prints that you plan to tone.
