Toning & Re-fixing

Hi

I read in Tim Rudman's Toning book that if you use sepia toner and only partially tone then you should refix. The reason given was that toning with a bleach 're-halogenises' the emulsion. Now if I tone with simple potassium ferricyanide bleach and no added potassium bromide do I still have to re-fix as I haven't used a bromide?

Cheers

Yes. Unless you tone to completion you will still have silver compounds left in the emulsion, but silver ferricyanide instead of silver bromide.

Thanks Ole, better refix my last few prints.
