I can't remember the name but it has "Overexposure" in the title. I have a copy, but I've misplaced it. Most chemicals are labeled pretty well. But there's always a concern when creating formulas. Especially the more exotic ones. It seems that some toners are on the exotic side. As are some developers. I pretty much stick with Xtol and Dektol. As far as I know, ink jet dies are fairly inert. At least, I hope they are since I had a problem with my printer over the weekend and my hands are now CMYK. Also touches of PhotoC and PhotoM tossed in for good measure.
