Daniel,

There is this wonderful organization near my home dedicated to all forms of photography. Last year I signed up for the traditional printing classes. In addition, every Monday I get use their darkroom for $5/hr.

The instructor for the printing class is terrific and an accomplished photographer in his own right.

The problem is that he is a Medium Format guy and only processes rolls and never TMAX.

So this led to the error of processing sheet film using TMAX developer for rolls only at a ratio of 1:4 for 6 minutes at 70 degrees.

Using XTOL at 70 degrees for 7.75 minutes did the trick.

I should also mention that I use a Jobo 42XX Drum on a Uniroller base. I’m not consistent enough for manual agitation.

So…I lost a lot of time trying to figure this mess out. The folks on this forum made the difference for me so thanks everyone........Mark
