Don,
  I saw some of your Pyro negatives at APIS and they were very similar to
my long printing PMK and Rollo pyro negs. I think we are definitely over
staining and perhaps sometimes overexposing for the way we develop. As I've
told you off list, I've started using Pyrocat and really like these
negatives for Pd/Pt. Same "pyro look" to the prints, but less overall stain
and shorter print times.

Remember how Bob Herbst said he doesn't use an after bath, uses normal
Kodak Fix, and even an acid stop bath (if I recall correctly)? Seems he is
actually making an effort to minimize stain. However, still plenty of stain
on his Wimberly WD2D negs, based on the ones he showed me after his lecture.

I'm looking forward to what Carl Weese has to say about Pyrocat after he
tests it.
