    スクリーンショット 2024-10-24 14.18.48.png I came across these 3 pdfs on printing for photographers by Tim Rudman from the 90s in my web travels. Though the scans are mediocre (probably from archive.org) and the material is dated, it may be an interesting addition to your e-library. You never know what you will find in the pages.

    The Photographer's Master Printing Course offers the enthusiastic printer and the complete beginner alike the key to creating perfect prints that combine technical assurance with true self-expression. Ranging from the basics of equipping a darkroom to advanced skills such as lith printing, toning and multiple printing, this complete volume is on the recommended book list of the Royal Photographic Society's Visual Arts Panel.

    The Master Photographer's Lith Printing Course: A Definitive Guide to Creative Lith Printing "The intrinsic beauty and creative potential of the lith printing process is accessible to anyone who has access to a darkroom. This technique requires only special developers that are readily available and cost no more than conventional materials. This is the first step-by-step book on this exciting approach to print making"--Back cover

    The Photographer's Toning Book: The Definitive Guide This extensively illustrated and eminently practical book describes both entry-level and advanced toning techniques for the creative photographer and printer. A chapter is devoted to each toner, allowing readers to enter at the level appropriate to their experience and to then develop their skills as far as they want to. In the author's words, "This is a book to grow into rather than out of. "Using a system of First Steps, Second Steps, and Further Steps, the normal use of simple 'off-the-shelf" toning kits is explained and then developed further by exploring the more advanced and less familiar techniques for which they may be employed. Each theme is expanded to include instructions and formulae for homemade toners that both save money and further expand the reader's creative options. Processes and techniques described include the use of all common and less common toners, singly and in combination, selective toning, archival and negative toning, simple and advanced uses of bleaches and developers, dyes and the use of less conventional materials, such as tea and coffee. An invaluable reference, frequently asked questions, formulas, and a how-to section are included.
