Response to Sepia tones

There are many ways to get brown tones; but "sepia" refers to a particular toning process, which produces a yellowish brown by bleaching and redeveloping the print. Kodak Brown Toner, Kodak Poly Toner, Kodak Sepia Toner, Nelson Gold Toner (available from Photographer's Formulary) are all formulas I can recommend. Also, you can get rich warm brown tones using selenium toner on warmtone papers such as Ilford MC Warmtone or Agfa 111. Some toners, such as Nelson Gold and sepia, are easily mixed from scratch; others you'll have to buy mixed.
