Does anybody have any experience with Photo Formulary's copper toner? Good or bad? It sounds like, from their description, it can produce a wide range of colors. Is it real fussy or unpredictable? It also sounds like it's quite fast, which can be a mixed blessing. Can it be slowed down by diluting? What are the time ranges for which colors?

(I hastily posted this on the LF forum, soplease exuse any duplicate mailings!)

Thanks!

I used some copper toner long ago (it wasn't the Formulary version, but they're all about the same). I didn't care much for the effects I achieved, but your experience might differ. My primary concern now is that the toner itself is quite poisonous. In my youthful foolishness I poured it out on a fire ant bed. It was at least 5 years before anything grew in that spot again.
