? about Max Pryo

[robby parkman]

I just got some Max Pryo from B&S. So far it looks pretty good for silver prints with FP-4 for 6 minutes. I hope to do some platinum prints this week. I have 2 questions however. 1) I have not been using a pre-soak and 2) I have not been using any hypo clearer. Does anyone know if hypo clearer is contra-indicated and whether the recommended 6 minutes is with or without a pre-soak. Thanks

I was hoping there would be some discussion here. I'm most interested in this developer, but Borders still has the Sept/Oct View Camera issue on the stand (and lots of them). Did you get a MSDS with your developer? Any interesting info there?

Initially a copy of the View Camera article was included and then some directions from Hutchings which contained the same information. Just talked to B&S, and they said they think the times are without a pre-soak and a hypo clearer is OK.
