Response to TriX n TMax developer

Thanks to all that contributed with answers. I got a piece of each added up with Kodak tech-sheets and here's what I came up with: As I'm using a condenser enlarger that increases contrast and grain Kodak recommends reducing development time by 30%, but that would lead to very short times over the risk of uneven development. So, I diluted Tmax in 1:6 and not 1:4 (30% weaker) and developed at the suggested time at 20C. Bingo! The negs printed beautifully in Ilford RC Multigrade paper! Then, I toned the prints in Kodak Selenium toner 1:20 to increase the DMAX and give extra protection. I just thought it would be worth telling. Maybe someone is having the same problems.
