Is the Ansco 130 a Glycine based developer? I have a nice Azo series of the
same image developed in Michael A. Smiths version of Amidol, Ethol LPG 1:1
and 1:4, and Dektol. The amidol prints are warmer than the others, which are
all a blue/black . Very interesting color shift from one developer to the
other.

for beautiful, rich prints. However, I found that I could get very similar
results with Ansco 130 home brew. I did careful, side-by-side tests with the
same negative. The prints were close enough to being identical, that I
switched from Amidol to Ansco 130. Amidol has a very short tray life and a
short shelf life, for that matter. Plus it's kind of pricey and there are
some health concerns with it.
