FP4 and HP5 differences in contact printing

[Cor]

Maybe of some interest: I use HP5+ in 8*10 for the speed advantages; I process in XTol and when I see possibilities in alternative printing (in my case pure platinum) I bleach the negative and re-develop in Pyrocat-HD to obtain the necessary (UV) density.

Best,

Interesting, didn't know that was possible. Thanks

Yes, it is possible. I tried it back in the 90's after reading Patrick Gainer's article in PT. Worked quite well with HP5+.
