Hi Keith,
I would love to try some other developers but the PhotoTherm was designed a bit differently then a Jobo ATL.
Its not as flexible when it comes to chemistry and times. A lot is pre programmed.
PhotoTherm has a table that comes with the machine for most films but its only for Tmax dev 1:5.
Most of the times are not the standard published ones for rotary tube but they work for the combo of film, chems and times.
Phil,
Thanks for the suggestions. I need to keep the same densities in the negs that come out of the processor.
I am using them to help calibrate my LVT Rhino. The LVT is extremely sensitive to processing.
Ill try to experiment with Tmax RS soon. Hopefully i can match what i get from the regular Tmax dev.
I did some more research on the net and found that a acidic stop bath might help.
The PhotoTherm uses a water bath between the dev and fix. Maybe that could help to stop the Dichroic Fog?
Ill try to mix up some kodak indicator stop bath and reprogram the machine.
Hopefully that works.
Thanks to everyone for the suggestions.
