development for alt-process



My students and I develop our sheet film one piece at a time in varying 
dilutions of paper developer for somewhere between 1 1/2 and 3 minutes.
About 20 years ago I accidentally developed some 4x5 Tri-X view camera
negatives in Dektol instead of D76. Only in van dyke brown could I get good
contact prints from those negatives. But this mistake led me into a much
less time-consuming way of processing sheet film of many kinds from all
kinds of cameras for printing in cyanotype, van dyke, gum and even
palladium.
