Print reducers formulas

To use this method, expose, develop in a neutral tone developer, fix, and wash a print in the usual manner. Next, use Print Rehalogenating Bleach (Formulas Print Reducers Print Rehalogenating Bleach) to convert all silver metal to silver bromide. Then rinse for 5 minutes and redevelop using any toning developer of your choice (this includes cold-tone developers). 

Set-off can be avoided by the use of anti-set-off compoimds. These are spray powders that reduce the frictional contact between the sheets. Materials like silica and starch, which have a particle diameter slightly greater than the printed ink film thickness, can be used. Slow setting problems may be reduced by the use of less solvent or by a higher ratio of resin to oil. Varnishing with a formula that utilises polymerisation induced by radiation is another way to avoid set-off. The varnish covers the printed surface and direct contact between the layer of print and the iimer food contact surface of the substrate is avoided.
