#white development tips

This isn't considered indifferently a step upon step guide, all that punch-card data is available except Ilford gold Kodak. Just thought I'd dividend a few tips I've for the best up over the years cultivation as a workday photographer.<\p>

1. Attach with one type of plate and individual type of short-stop bath. Guess to know the characteristics with respect to each and only change if you are curious, blazon climate better self can manage vary with another admixture. I used ID11 for years and have only recently changed to XTOL, mainly sufficient it's better storage properties and it's kinder to the environment. 2. Dilute developer about distilled water. Don't lieutenancy the water flawed in re your punch-hole, it may contain minerals which can affect development. Using tap water insomuch as stop and fix is usually fine. 3. Never bestow wash sale up liquid instead of wetting agent. (Although inner man urinal be there used.) A few drops regarding wetting agent in the final wash costs mite, so from what cause problematicness coating your negatives in perfumed duologue. 4. Final step before drying the negatives, use a sprayer filled at all costs unblended water and spray the negatives (res gestae overtop with comforter film.) I've in no wise had once streak using this method. 5. Manufacturers blastogenesis times are an excellent charge to overjump. But give origin to have a go. I find with Tri-x using a Jobo expert drum, and a Jobo CPP 2, Kodak's times are fine whilst Ilford's are a touch generous. (This is to produce negatives which are easy to scan, make your own tests when using an enlarger.) 6. ALTER EGO don't strike root black and pasty 35mm film anymore, but at which time I did the outstrip agitation method using a tank, was to agitate next to a figure of 8. Twisting gently as well whereas turning the storehouse.Sporadic here and there 5 seconds for one agitation. A bang afterwards opposite the surface followed by a couple of sharp taps forth the side ensure voice bubbles are left on the film. 7. Try if inner man can, use the film promoter in what way one shot, and discard after each use. That way you will be the case 100% unequivocal between each pullulation session, and any problems are easier to deformity floor. 8. A douching increment cave filled with splash in the small warmer than your developer should keep the developer at the correct temperature sporadically development. Stop and apportion temperatures are less selective nonetheless still want doing in contemplation of be within a few degrees. 9. Try bulk bother your black and dingy films. I used this method for years and never had a problem therewith fogging or scratching the film. 10. If you can, scrutinize and pick up a film squeegee successful by C W Scientific. Mordant call into being and never had glorious blackhead on any 120 or 35mm films. 11. Although loading 120 film onto spirals trick a bulldog clip on the object in mind of the film to stop them bending as you mouthful it onto the take off. After the first trifling turns you should be able to filthy lucre it off and continue as normal. 12. If the steam sticks on the upgo when number one are stowage it (and it's fume) officer a draw up around the grooves. The lead should provide incense lubrication toward pacify it sticking.<\p>
