Greetings. I want to use HP5 and FP4, but mainly HP5, and pyro to make negative s for platinum and palladium printing. These will be 8x10 negatives that will n ot be enlarged -- they'll be contact printed as 8x10s.... I've read answers to the following questions here and there, but would like to see some fresh opinion s.... First, is there anything inherently against using HP5-FP4-in-pyro negativ es for platinum printing? Second, I've read that HP5 should be rated at 200 or so. Yes? How about FP4? Third, what about development times? Are those set f orth in the Hutchings book about right? Finally, I intend to use the PMK formul a. Is it anyone's experience that one of the other pyro formulations is clearly better? ... Thanks in advance for you kind and pithy responses. -jeff buckel s (albuquerque)
