One very simple answer is to use print developer; dektol works, as would most any other that has a high hydroquinone content. Kodak D- 19 is designed specifically for the purpose (processing high contrast films for litho), but if you want something you probably already have on hand, print developer should work well. Keep in mind that using these developers will indeed give you "soot and chalk" tonality, with plenty of grain. Expect minimal midrange values.(posted 8360 days ago)
