Fotospeed AU20 GOLD TONER is so called because of the presence of gold chloride in the solution. Gold toner will create peachy red tones on prints that have already been sepia toned, or steely blue shades on fiber prints that have not been toned. Gold toner will not produce gold colored prints.

Untoned B&W fiber prints placed into the gold toner will take on a cold steely blue the black areas.

Gold toner is also used for archival permanence techniques. It is supplied as a working solution. It should not be diluted. Gold toner should be rebottled and used again. It is most important that prints placed into Gold Toner have been very well washed prior to immersion since contamination will reduce its longevity.
