Is this uneven development?

Since SP-810 trays are convenient for me, I really wanted to see if I could get evenly processed sheets in them with reduced agitation. So I did my experiment with 4 sheets again. First N development with two different Pyrocat-HD dilutions and the next two using the preferred dilution from the first step. All 4 sheets were evenly developed.

N Development:


N+2 Development:


N+4 Development:


Just wanted to share that it is actually possible to get evenly processed sheets in SP-810 trays, using reduced agitation method. Tubes probably make it essentially foolproof, but getting 4 out of 4 clean results is very encouraging to me because I don't have a dark room and this means I can continue to use SP-810 trays.

I had similar issues with the sp810.
I found that reducing the agitation a little bit solved it. I agitate the first 60 seconds and then 10 seconds every 30 seconds. I agitate as if I’m working with an open tray were you normally prevent the liquid from going over the edge. So pretty careful. If the sheet in the tank starts to move it might be too much agitation.
Also I reduced total developer solution to 300ml. Coming from 475ml.
I use ID-11 1:1 for 12:00 minutes. 20 degrees celcius and a 3 minute presoak.
