Hello,
I have some DR5 positives that I want to enlarge for PT/PD developing. I planned on using Arista APHS Ortho film. If these enlarged negatives are designed to be purely used for PT/PD is there any advantage to using a staining developer? Do people gravitate towards a staining developer for it's dual purpose use, PT/PD and VC printing? Or does it have additional characteristics that make it a desirable choice for PT/PD? I was planning on using Clayton Extend Plus developer to keep things simple but I have no problem breaking out the W2D2+ or 510-PYRO. Has anyone been down this road before, any insights before I finally start my own testing would be helpful.
Thanks,
Eric Jones
