Pre-wetting the paper is another way when using minimal solution volumes. A minute or two will do. Pour out the water, pour in the developer. This is a very bad idea, as a general-purpose development technique -- it will dramatically change the characteristic curve of the paper, or, at least, the papers I was using when I tried it (Kodabromide III, and the last-generation Oriental-manufactured Seagull the second time I gave it a shot) exhibited this effect unless given extremely long development times. -- Thor Lancelot Simon "The inconsistency is startling, though admittedly, if consistency is to be abandoned or transcended, there is no problem." - Noam Chomsky |
