ANSCO 130

Anyone have any tips on manipulating image color with Ansco 130? I adore this developer with Bergger VCCB but find it slightly greenish compared to my standard Zonal Pro HQ Warmtone.

You might test drive another classic glycin paper developer, known by many names:

Glycin-Hydroquinone Paper Developer for Toned Prints
as described by Edmund L. Lowe, 1938

Water 1 liter
Sulfite, anhy 85 grams
Sod Carb, anhy 245 grams
Glycin 28 grams
HQ 9 grams
Pot Brom 4 grams

Diluted 1+3, warm blacks with warmish cast
Diluted 1+7, briliant scale, brown blacks ( chlorobromide ); range of tones from sepia > green, orange, and brick red.... on different contact papers.
Brown tones on Bromide papers.

He recommended better grade of contact papers, especially.

Tone + color can be varied by exposure + development; development times ranging from 1 1/2 minutes to 10 minutes.

It is a flexible developer, and poor for beginners because small variations in technique will produce great variations in results.

I believe this developer is described by Anchell, attributed to Dassonville.

it is a good developer with some papers......

What was the formula? I believe someone has tried something similar but using some pyrogallol as well - development times for TMY were about 16 minutes IIRC.

hope this helps,

14g glycin in 100ml of TEA for stock solution. Dilute 3ml stock to 100ml water for working solution. Development time for Efke PL100 was in the neighborhood of 2 hours IIRC. This was an experiment in an attempt to make a TEA version of Hubl paste.

I found this too expensive and of no particular advantage, so I've returned to Pyrocat HD for film. It did prove, however, that the glycin is still good after two years in the freezer.

Sounds like something I should try. So...by what names has this been known?
