Identical. They were coated and dried at the same time. Then cut and the exposure for all three started at the same time. I pulled them from the machine at 250 unit intervals rather than adding to the machine sequentially. The difference would be between exposing and processing, not coating and exposure.
I am taking your suggestion and reversing the order by adding them to the machine rather than pulling them out at a certain interval on a second test. Also air-drying a third set rather than force drying using a hair dryer. We'll see if it makes any difference.
I also ran a test this morning where I processed a strip given 250 units immediately after exposure. A second 250 strip was processed after sitting around for a half hour before exposing it.
Another test I'm running involves a different paper. From what I can see on the drying test print, the exposure scale is shorter being more contrasty (10 steps with 3 merged on the low end when given 250 units).
