@thereisnocat After some back and forth, I've settled on 6-7 mins in 18% sodium acetate (+ ~1% tartaric acid) for the past 6 weeks or so. I usually also add one or two drops of 5% ammonium dichromate to the emulsion to raise contrast. All prints are toned in a very weak 1:100 Se toner, just before final wash. But even with those things being mostly constants in my process, I'm continuously experimenting with different durations & concentrations of the processing stages, with sometimes quite unexpected results... I've started doing some test prints of my generative art pieces[1] and for those I think I'll be switching to gold toner for cooler tones.
What developer/toner have you been using for your prints?
