Hello - I'm getting back into Pd printing and want to order chems in dry packs so I can mix them when i want, I'm also trying to keep things local. A few things I need to know though - any help appreciated:

What are the full chemical names/formulas for the following developers:

Sodium/Ammonium/Potassium Citrate
Potassium Oxalate
Sodium Acetate

(the local supply here has a few different versions with subtle name changes) ...

What amount in weight would I need per volume of water to make working solutions ?

Any recommendations for Pd-only printing ? (I personally like the warm tones)

Ferric Oxalate and Potassium Chlorate, again>> What amount in weight would I need per volume of water to make working solutions (both1&2) ?

Pd powder (http://www.bostick-sullivan.com/cart/product.php?productid=539&quantity=5) - once again >> What amount in weight would I need per volume of water to make a working solution ?

If there is any standard weight/volume equivalency for any of these chems it would be appreciated also - that way I wouldn't have to buy scales

any help appreciated !

thanks,
nick
