I think the swapping of the bulbs might be the wrong thing to do without
swapping the ballasts. The ballasts for 20W bulbs are generally not
adequate for 40W bulbs.
I not sure about the bulbs in use in this situation and their suitability
for Pt/Pd, but I completely agree with the test Joe describes above.
BTW, my Pt/Pd prints all come up in about 3-4 minutes and about the same
time (maybe a little less in the sun).
