What is the less dangerous print toner...

If your darkroom doesn't have adequate sink area and/or ventilation then I can certainly understand your concern.

That must be the only toner designed for drinking and toning or did you get drunk and pour the wrong stuff in the tray. Naughty boy, you aren't supposed to eat or drink in the darkroom.

what do recommend, a nice Burgandy or perhaps a Châteauneuf-du-Pape?

Are we getting mixed up between toners and dyes? They do different jobs, in different ways. A toner affects the silver metal (ie. 'dark' areas in a positive print) while a dye affects the baryta and paper base (ie. 'light' areas in a positive print, behind the silver image).

Wasn't there even a Kentmere paper manufactured with different coloured paper-base material? I seem to remember red and blue paper anyway, each with a silver image on top in the usual way.

Kodak once made a FB paper that was green in color. It was intended for landscapes.

Exactly how would that work in Red Rock country?
