RE: Pyrocat-HD for alt printing?

Hi Susan,

I know and experienced the oxydation of the PyrocatHD stock "A", OTOH I last week used succesfully a stock made in in December 2004.

The "good" thing is that you can at least see that your stock is dead, compair that to Xtol..;-)..

I stored the stock in a clear glass bottle around which I have wrapped aluminium foil.

I woder if switching the Phenidone with DimezoneS would help in increasing storage life (DimezonS is a much more stable variant of Phenidone).

Best,

Cor
