Hello there,
I am having a lot of problems developing 4x5 Ilford HP+5 film using the MOD54 on a Paterson Tank with a Uniroller base. The negatives came out all over developed, no contrast nor sharpening, all is mostly black. I am using a 1,000 ml solution of Ilfosol 3 diluted at 9:1 (I suspect that the developer is not the right one) but I will switch to DD-X on Tuesday. I develop at 6':30" as recommended by Ilford in its technical chart.
I want to use the rotary base (I do develop other film sizes with it) so to maintain some sort of consistency in my process.
Does anybody has any recommendation on:
- 1.- Proper dilution of Ilfosol 3 and DD-X for the MOD54?
- 2.- Developer quantity (i.e. 1,000ML?) for the MOD54 on a Paterson 3 tank?
- 3.- Proper timing or adjustment on using a Uniroller base (bi-directional)?
I am keeping working on HP5+ until I get it right.
Many thanks for your kind support
Regards
