Adjust B&W paper development time when using Uniroller?
Phil Glaser wrote: Patrick Gainer wrote in message Ordinarilly, 2 minutes are sufficient, 1 minute is not enough. Higher concentration will decrease the time. The instructions for my paper, Ilford Multigrade IV RC Deluxe, say that with Multigrade developer diluted 1:9, 1 minute is the recommended time. Are you suggesting that these instructions are wrong (it would clearly not be the first time a photographic material manufcaturer's instructions were wrong . . . ) --Phil Sorry, I wasn't clear. I was referring to my setup, using trays. The developer I normally use, which is home brew, needs 2 minutes to get the maximum black and normal contrast. If it is too dark after 2 minutes, reducing the development will not make a better print. The time for your setup is 1 minute, so I would say if you fell that less than 1 minute would be better, there is a good probability that the exposure was too much. |
