Fotospeed offers a variety of toning, alternative processing and retouching kits for creative photography. These easy-to-use products provide an introduction to many different treatments of traditional photographic printing, as well as allowing practitioners the chance to work with historic processes.
Toners
All the classics are here: Copper/Red and Blue for color effects, Sepia (traditional and odorless) for creating old-time variable warm brown tones, and Gold & Selenium for increasing print depth and archival protection.
Alternative Processes
Argyrotype is a variation on other brown image processes such as Kallitype and Van Dyke. For stunning antique-style prints on fine art paper
Cyanotype is perhaps the most popular alternative process and a great introduction into sun printing. Producing beautiful cyan to blue tones on watercolor fine art paper through the use of a contact negative.
Salt printing is a 19th century process requiring exposure of a contact negative to UV/sunlight. Practiced by photographers such as William Henry Fox Talbot, salt prints have the contrast and detail of modern silver-gelatin prints, but are enhanced by a unique old-world quality
Lith Printing
By combining certain papers with a lith developer you can produce images with gritty shadows, delicate highlights and subtle tones varying from brown to black to purple-pink. Lith prints have an artistic quality which adds genuine character to the right image and are ideal for exhibition.
Retouching Dyes
For local manipulation of the print, these dyes allow for errors to be disguised, scratches to be filled and color to be added. The B&W Retouch Kit includes bleach for removal of black spots and black and grey dyes for disguising white spots. The 11 color Fotodyes are suitable for any emulsion and come with a reducer for improved control. Dyes can be diluted to exactly match any requirement.
