So my SP810 has finally arrived and I put it to the test.
I developed a sheet of 8x10 Ilford HP5 in a solution of Pyrocat HD 1:1:200 with the intention of developing semi-stand. Keeping chem temperatures at 20C, I did my pre-wash, development (60m) with gentle agitation during the first minute, and another minute of gentle agitation on the halfway mark, did my water stop bath, and went on to proceed with my fixing and washing.
At first glance, the negative looked nice and evenly developed, however, upon close inspection, what I noticed are these stretchmark-like or worm-like imprints on the sheet, which I would believe to be temp shift reticulation from temperature changes.
What are your thoughts? The only non-temp sensitive step I can think of that I did was the final wash.
