<< So what are you using now? Dilute paper developer with APH film?
>>
If you don't want to mix your own, you can try diluted film developer too,
which is inherently less contrasty than paper developer because paper
developer is designed to develop the image to full.
Diluted D-76 and HC-110 work nicely. I found that diluted TMax developer,
however, gives a lot of base+fog density. If your original negative is really
contrasty, you might consider using a superlow contrast developer like LC-1
(see PF issue #2), or use a normal negative (instead of lith negative) for
the interpositive. The reason is lith film has a relatively short exposure
range.
