I'm seeing muddy high values printing with Lodima, and was wondering if this is a known problem, or if there's something wrong with my technique.
I've tried different developers (Multigrade, PF 130) and compared side-by-side with other papers including MGIV fb and Ilfobrom Galerie. Things work as expected with the other papers, but with the Lodima (both grades), the high values always seem depressed, as if the paper is fogged.
I'm using a 65W tungsten spot as a light source, about 115cm away, with exposure times of about 20s. I'm developing as I would for other papers, e.g. 60 seconds in 130.
Any clues?
