Vandyke Brownprint Process
Van Dyke Brownprint is a process developed by Arndt & Troos in 1889. It uses Silver Nitrate and Ferric Ammonium CItrate (Brown Flakes) to create a monochromatic "Van Dyke Brown" print that develops in water and fixes in a gentle bath of hypo fix (sodium thiosulfate).
Our Van Dyke solution comes ready to go as a liquid, already mixed up for you! The kit comes with the hypo fix, everything you need in one!
For this process, we recommend using 100% cotton rag paper! Arches Platine, Revere Platinum, and Hahnemuhle Platinum Rag are very suitable choices for this process!

For true archival permanence, Vandyke, Salted Paper, Kallitypes, Albumen and Argyrotype prints should be toned. Our gold toning kit produces a cool image with blue/magenta highlights. Tones approximately 50 8"x10" prints.
