Hello everyone,

This is my first post on the forum and I wanted to seek for people's experiences using tray development and Pyrocat HD (in my case, I ordered an SP-810 Daylight Tray since I do not have a darkroom to use regular trays).

I used to use JOBO drums and a Philips motorized rotary processor but my negatives turned out too dense, I am led to believe that my one-speed rotary processor might be turning too fast for Pyrocat. I wanted to try tray development first (to see if it works for me) before I jump and splurge on an expensive multi-speed rotary processor.

1. What usual dilution works best for you in tray development?
2. How long do you develop?
3. How do you agitate your tray?
4. How are you results?

Thanks,

Jurgen
