Pyrocat HD source?

[Merg Ross]

Sandy Kings contribution of Pyrocat to the photographic world was truly a wonderful thing.

Indeed! Thank you, Sandy.

Indeed! Thank you, Sandy.

+ 1 more! I mix the stuff up with tap water and sometimes it sits in my old soda pop bottles for a year. Never ever had a problem. I buy the different components from Ebay sellers in bulk, so my "soup" for the JOBO runs is pennies.

Speaking of Sandy King, I have been using one of his suggested Pyrocat HD workflows in which film is processed sequentially in parts A and B, which are not mixed. Works pretty well in a JOBO.

For those who may not be familiar with this work flow, you can read about the pros and cons in this article.

And thanks for the kind remarks about my role in the development of Pyrocat. I did the research and testing for the formula in the mid-1990s and discussed many of my ideas on film development in the rec.photo.darkroom discussion group. The name Pyrocat was first used in an article on the formula published in Judy Seigel's Post-Factory Photography in 1999. By some unfortunate twist of fate I have an entire set of Post-Factory Photography, except for the issue that contains the article on Pyrocat!!

And well-deserved as well. Pyrocat has been my go-to developer for a while now and I still like it a lot. I haven't found anything that gives a better balance between image quality, versatility (also for alt. process negatives), economy and keeping qualities. Pyrocat, for me, is the superior option out of anything I have tried.
