Hi all,
While searching the net for development times
Pyrocat-HD I came across the -m and -p variations on the APUG and Azo
forums. I noticed that the potassium bromide has been dropped in the
-m and -p formulas and there is an optional addition of potassium iodide. In a
posting on the Azo forum, Sandy stated that "...I am inclined to believe at
this point is there is no need at all for the potassum iodide restrainer...".
Would the -hd version be cleaner working without a restrainer? Also, would speed
increase without a restrainer? The -m version appears to be the same as the
-hd version with the amount of metol reduced and the potassium bromide
eliminated. If I develop in small tanks and trays and am using dimezone,
rather than metol, should I continue with 0.2gms/100ml or should I reduce
it to 0.02gms/100ml.
Thank you in advance, Scott
