Thanks Chris. That's a lot more than I was expecting. If I can expose for
less that will help with my printer issue. That's a pain with the grain
though as I favour Dick Sullivan's recipe, as the addition of ammonium
dichromate might exacerbate the problem. 

John.

John, I find it about a stop faster, but grain can be an issue with too much
FAC.  I switched back to 1:1 (20% A, 8%
B) and students are finding an exposure time, say, in an Edwards unit, of
20min.  I think formerly the exposure times were 9-12 if I remember
correctly.
