Customer Reviews (5.0 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Christopher ★★★★★

The crystals arrived as a fine, uniform powder that dissolves cleanly for emulsion work, which is exactly what I needed for printing out paper. I've already mixed two batches and the silver content feels true to the 10g listing. This is my go-to for kallitype now.

Ella ★★★★★

I've been using this for my Van Dyke Brown prints and the fine crystal form dissolves consistently without any residue. The 10g size is perfect for testing new emulsion recipes without committing to a larger batch.

Ruby Z. ★★★★★

The crystals arrived fine and sealed tight, which matters since I'm mixing my own emulsion for kallitype prints. This amount goes a long way for test batches, and the purity seems spot on for consistent results.
