I have a bunch of color negative strips I need to contact print. For immediacy and economy I just bought a packet of Dektol mix (1 quart) and some Ilford MG RC. All I want to do is to get some reference images. I'll only be making two or three contact sheets at any given time, so I want to use the dilution that will be the most economical. Dektol will not be my usual B&W paper developer, and I've never used it before. That's all they had at the only darkroom supply place I could find within 100 miles of where I live (I might be exaggerating by 20 miles or so). In any case, the plan is to dilute as much as possible, use as little as possible to get two or three 8x10 contact sheets done, and dispose of it. Thanks for any suggestions.(posted 8619 days ago)John
