I'm beginning to make my first contact prints and my first negative (fp4+ rotary processed in Pyrocat HD 1:1:100) must be a little beefy. At 4:00 mins I blown highlights. At 0:30+0:30 I get no DMax on test strips (exposing through a B+F neg). I got pretty close to what I'm after at 2:00+2:00. I'm thinking my next stab should be 1:30+2:30. As my printing sessions are few and far between I would appreciate any insight into squeezing a little less contrast from this neg. I'm using "new" Azo in Grade 2. Thanks
