IR list, lith printing and gold toners

[Graham <cmm@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Good day all,

My query is directed more so to Tim Rudman although I think it
may have appeal to the IR list in general.

I have your Lith printing book and think it is just wonderful,
full of great information and ideas.  In the section on toning
you mention the use of Gold Toners and in the photo of sample
supplies you have a bottle of what looks like Fotospeed Gold
toner which is described as use it, rebottle it, and use it 
again later.

I have looked around for Gold Toner and the only one I could easily
find is Berg Protective Gold Toner; 2 parts to make 1 litre or working
solution with no appreciable tray life and good for 8  8x10's.  Very
expensive and seemingly quite different from what was described in the
book.  Is the Berg toner similiar to Kodak GP-1 ? Is the Fotospeed
probuct similar to the Nelson Gold Toner formula ? 

There is quite a difference in the forumulations between the two. What
is the difference? Why would you use the GP-1 type formula instead of
the Nelson Gold toner type if they both do the same thing or do they?

I have found the subject a bit confusing but after a bit of research
I am beginning to think that what I want is the Nelson Gold Toner or
something similar. 

Anyone know of a source for Fotospeed products in Canada?  I know of some
US sources but I am getting tired of the extra cost and hassels of cross
border shopping.

cheers, Graham  cmm@xxxxxxxxxxxx

Are the shadows there for me to find, or placed there by my searching mind.
When I reach and find them gone, was I right or was I wrong?
