    Try "rapid selinium toner" It is a Kodac photo finishing product. It
    has kind of gone the way of hoop skirts as far as photographers are
    concerned, but they still make it. You will probably need to special
    order it. It rubs off much easier than liver of sulpher or Jax Black
    (tellurium dioxide) and it works on de-ox silver. Gives more of a
    blue-black than Jax, which tends to be more gray. I actually use both
    Jax and the photo toner for my work with de-ox silver. The Jax makes a
    hard, more enduring black and the toner finishes it off with a better
    color.
