Hi,

My question is; "What density readings should I be getting with HP5 and Pyrocat-HD??"
I've just completed a film test with HP5 and Pyrocat-HD [1:2:100] at 75 degrees using BTZS tubes. Developed for 5, 7, 10, 15 and 20 minutes.

Am using the blue channel on my 310 X-Rite. The densitometer was completely rebuilt by X-Rite 3 years ago and calibrated before reading the film densities.

The Dmax for each are as follows; 0.31, 0.38, 0.45, 0.52 & 0.57.

These seem rather low and was wondering how they compare with what others have experienced??

Thanks,
Bob
