Joe,(posted 8172 days ago)TMX does not stain well in PMK. My personal favorite is Tri-X, rated at 250 and processed in PMK. I get absolutly grainless 8x10's from 35mm. However, I print with a diffusion VC enlarger. I am still fine tuning my development times (I keep terrible records) so I can't help much there. But, I did find Gordon Hutchings times to be a great starting point.
A couple of things that I have discovered to be true: Use a straight hypo fixer (no hardener), go right from the fixer back into the used developer for two minutes, then right into the wash. Do not use any wash aid and leave the film in the wash for 30 minutes. The stain clearly growes in the wash.
