Cyanotype / Na2S - NiSO4 toning

Contexte & Histoire

Nickel sulphate/sodium sulphide bath after a normal cyanotype. The use of Na₂S is always disappointing: the deep black quickly turns grey, then yellow (sulphur) after several days. Furthermore, NiS seems too fine to fix properly in the paper, leaving it very dirty.
