(some more background to the traditional toning:

"To create a sepia-toned Polaroid print, you must tone the print before coating it. You will need the following supplies:

A Polaroid black and white film that requires a coater, such as Type 52, 55, or 665 (Coaterless films, such as Type 664 and 667, will not produce stable, toned prints.)

A commercial selenium toning solution that does not require a separate bleaching operation")

^ There are no "chemicals" involved in this. though, i would like to play with some of the toner stuff anyway we'll see I guess. Thanks for the info!

it's the paper. fiber based paper is excellent for toning. polaroid paper is not.
you're a scientist : ) - why not try something a bit more harsh - maybe iodine with a tint of dye(?), or maybe just a lot longer in the solution. whatever you did to this one does have a very unique look. i like it.
i think i'll put a an old dud b/w in coffee tomorrow. maybe leave it in a ziplock for a week. i'll get back to you on that.

^ ok! I want to see if 667 does the same thing with this experiment.

nice experiment. did you use regular sepia toner? ever tried coffee? for toning i mean.

^ no toners. I tried coffee once, and it didn't do much.
