I enjoyed your site Marco.
*Familiar territory, my wife is a 'Hambuger'

I agree with you about the pleasures of bad weather Infra Red. Iwas writing
a book on IR about five years ago (- before I got diverted onto other
projects and left it 3/4/ finished) I don't suppose I'll ever get back to it
now, but I had a section in it on bad weather I-R which I always felt was a
neglected area of great promise.

BTW, MGIV does eventually take up gold toner when lth printed but it is very
slow to do so, and it is easy to give up too soon.
BTW also,I shall be testing a new blue toner shortly which gives a soft
porcelin blue and unusually is a 2 bath bleach and tone process - like
sepia, & so much more controllable for split toning & etc.
best wishes
Tim
