Alot of the posts about this developer seem quite old so I'm looking for more recent results.
I use 8x10 Tmax 400. I use trays to process in. I was planning to try Xtol either 1:1 or straight.
The Kodak time listed for 1:1 is 10 1/2 min. at 68 degrees.
I'm looking for suggestions with this new to me developer.
Should I use distilled water in the city?
Should I let the developer sit for a couple days after mixing the powder?
If I use 11x14 trays I usually mix 3 L of developer and process six sheets at at time.
Should I increase development time by 15% for the second/third batches?... or do I have do discard the chemistry after one use?
Other helpful ideas are always welcome.
