Welcome to the wonderful world of Bromoils.

I have been making my Bromoiils with just the harder 1803 ink and have managed to get what I am looking for without any problems. I have heard of the softer1796 ink being used after the 1803, maybe someone here has done this and can advise?

I use Gilbert's bleach / tan formula (without any acid) with no problems at all but I make sure I don't over work the bleach/tan bath. There is a lot to be said for adopting a one-shot approach.

Neil.
