DOn,

Thanks for the post. If I can read you post correcty there might be some differences in the final colour image, although I find that humidity has perhaps a strongest influence.

Can the citrate developer be replenished like traditional POTA developr?
One advantage might be that citric acid is easily accessible and cheap.
