The exposed print is then immersed in the developer for from i to 4 minutes till fully developed, then cleared in four acid baths containing i ounce of Muriatic Acid C. P. to 60 ounces of water [half these proportions for Sepia prints) and washed for a short time in running water. The whole oper- ation of printing, clearing and washing being com- plete in about one hour. N. B — The Developing Salts are the special salts recommended by Willis & Clements for development, and are sold in 3^ lb., J^ lb. and 1 lb. boxes. The salts are mixed in definite proportions and must all be dissolved at one time, otherwise the tone of the prints will not be uniform.

Treatment of ttie Paper To secure the most brilliant results the sensitized paper, be/ore, during- and after its exposure to light, must be kept as dry as possible. It is necessary to place between the sensitized paper and the pads a sheet of thin India-rubber cloth; it is of the first importance that the pads in contact with the paper be quite dry. The effect of damp is seen in a want of vigor, a general muddiness of tone, and, where the sensi- tized paper has been exposed to its influence for some days, in the impaired purity of the whites. Platinotype papers keep for many months if stored in a cool, dry place in the tins in which the paper is supplied. N. B. — It is very important that the lid of the tin be properly sealed with rubber band or rubber tape to keep out the air. During the winter, or in high altitudes where the air is dry, the paper will keep for many months without the slightest deterioration, though it should not be stored in a hot room. In most places American summers are both hot and damp, especially along the coast and in the cities near the great lakes, and in southern latitudes during the wet season. The constant evaporation saturates the air with moisture, causing the hot- damp conditions so destructive to photographic papers ; but, even in such climates, Platinotype WILLIS & CLEMENTS, PHILADELPHIA. papers may be kept safely without danger of spoil- ing. It is, however, essential that the tube in which the paper is packed be stored in a cold or cool place. N. B. — If only part of the dozen pieces of paper be taken out of the tube for use at one printing, the balance, with the lump of pre- servative, should be returned to the tube and a rubber band secured around the lid. Diuring the summer it is advisable to use the whole contents of the tube the same day it is opened. Exposure to Light The correct exposure is ascertained by inspection of the paper in a rather weak white light in the usual manner. A little experience will enable the exposure to be determined very accurately. Platinotype can be printed by the Cooper Hewitt Light (see our circular regarding this method). As a general rule all parts of the picture except the highest lights should be visible when the exposure is complete. When examining the prints in the printing frames, care should be taken not to expose them unduly to light. The tinting of the whites of the paper due to slight action of light is not visible until after development. Damp paper gives a less visible image in the printing frame than dr>' paper, hence it may easily be over- exposed. When printing from thin negatives care must be taken not to over-expose. As soon as the image is faintly visible it may be considered enough. Thin, flat negatives give weak prints, whether sepia or black. WILLIS & CLEMENTS, PHILADELPHIA. Development of Black Prints The whole contents of the box of developing salts must be dissolved at one time. If this be not done, too large a proportion of one of the ingredi- ents may possibly be used. Development should be conducted in a feeble white light, similar to that used when cutting up the paper, or by gas light. It may take place immediately after the print is exposed, or at the end of the day's printing. Develop by floating the print, exposed side down- wards, on the developing solution, or, it may be immersed. ^^The Extra Heavy Papers require much long- er developing than the thinner papers. They may be given as long as from three to four minutes in the developing bath without injury.
