Sandy, Yes the AFO is indeed a much better defined chemical than the FO,
which can vary all over the place. POP pt/pd prints can most certainly be
made. One thing that I seemed to see in prints made from negs that print
well with FO when using AFO, are prints that look a little hazy. That might
be OK, if you were making prints of foggy or moody scenes but for crisp
images, not so hot. It may also be a paper pH issue, where what works for FO
will react differently for AFO prints. It does have a shelf life after
mixing but last at least as long as FO if not twice as long.
