Response to Continuous vs Intermittent agitation - finding

John, another thought occured to me. It would seem to be the case that there should be differences as a function of type of developer. Slow developers are more likely to be limited by the speed at which they develop the image i.e., any agitation (maybe even just diffusion) will do the job of supplying enough fresh developer at development sites since the rate of development would be slow enough to be the limiting factor - agitation variations should prove less problematic with these developers. However, agitation may be more critical with rapid acting developers since the rate of diffusion may not be fast enough to prevent local exhaustion. Thus, increasing agitation with these developers should increase the contrast. Sound logical? Cheers, DJ.
