Then you should try semi-stand development with Pyrocat-HD. There has
been a long discussion about this on the AZO forum at Michael A. Smith
and Paula Chamlee's web site.
Sandy King and others have had some amazing results with this method of
development.

PMK will work pretty well with S.G. papers, I've developed a lot of film
in PMK.

Then you are well ahead of the curve there.

Okay, I'll say it, don't use PMK for UV printing, instead if you wish to
use a staining developer try W2D2, Pyrocat-HD, or Rollo-Pyro (a modified
PMK formula used for drum processing). Depending on your film of choice
other non-staining developers can work such as HC-110. I only use
Pyrocat-HD now.
I would avoid over exposing film as some recommend, testing is the best
way to determine what works for you.
Good luck,
Don Bryant
