I recall that Michael Smith many years ago talked about doing a test using Metol and Hydroquinone to develop some test prints to help see the differences betwen the lower contrast Metol vs. the higher contrast Hydroquinone.

I thought this would be a fun thing to explore and see for myself because I like tinkering with old film and paper formulas.

Does anyone have an idea of a Hydroquinone only paper developer formula, meaning how much Hydroquinone to 1 liter of water to perform the test?

And the same question goes for Metol as well?

For this simple visual test, the idea is to expose two sheets of paper identically and then develop one in the Metol only developer and the other in the Hydroquinone only developer to be able to visualize the different characteristics of these two well-known developing agents.

Thanks!
