Need a hand with sorting salt prints out please!

Salt is it's own gigantic rabbit hole! "Sea Salt", as Koraks mentioned, varies enormously depending on how and where it was made ... and can contain small amounts of lots of other things ( sulfates, magnesium, carbonates, potassium, bromides, and these days microplastics too I guess ) Anti-caking agents like silicates or sodium ferrocyanide are sometimes added. There is a fun book called "Salt" by Mark Kurlanski about the history of salt. Every salt I've tried ( dozens! ) behaves slightly differently and sometimes big color differences.

Which is why I settled on Ammonium chloride long ago. Consistency, predictability.

Use Pickling salt if you want salt with no other component.

Every time I read this thread's title I think someone is asking for help cataloguing and storing their prints!
Isn't English a wonderful language?

Having read the OP's thread in its early days and made a comment I then forgot about it until today when it re-appeared

So reading the title again and having forgotten I have ever seen it, my initial reaction was exactly like yours, Matt

From what I understand about salt printing is that many over complicate the process. Have you thought about making photogenic drawings as devised by Fox Talbot? This produces a far more beautiful effect that any thing I have seen from modern salt printing.
