Processed the first 10 sheets of Provia100F. RPMs at 25, reversing. So far all looks okay. A couple of the skies "appear" to have a yellow tint to them, but they are also over-exposed it appears. Had this on a different slide when hand processing. Developed at 105F. The final rinse water ended up being warmer than 105, but doubt that would hurt anything.
Of note, when mixing the full volume of chemicals, I mixed the color developer at 2.75:1, water:color developer instead of 2.2. I don't think this would affect anything given how rough measurements are even using beakers like I do.
Question, if dilution for color developer is a bit more than should be, would increasing the time for color developer, like 15-30 seconds help? Or is it really needed to account for a slightly weaker mix?
To note: After practicing taking the lid on and off the 3010 expert drum, when it came to actually removing after developing, it was stuck tighter than a frogs a**. One method is to just keep working (would still be working it) another was to blow into the hole and a third was to buy the foot pump. I blew into the second hole, took a lot of air pressure, when it popped it felt like getting punched in the mouth. I should have expected that being an engineer
. Cut my upper lip a bit below my nose. Not bad.
I immediately went to BH and ordered the foot pump. Will be here Friday!
