Well, Shawn, you are the first person I have ever heard saying that Tech Pan is not contrasty enough 8). You can try and develope longer to see if that gives you what you are looking for. I use about eight minutes in technidol with Tech Pan rated at EI 25 and get negatives that print on grade two or three depending on the subject. One thing, is the subject matter inherantly low contrast and you are trying to punch it up a bit in your print?(posted 9246 days ago)If you still need more contrast, try developing in HC110 dilution F for 6 minutes. This, in general, gives me negatives that are barely printable on grade zero paper if at all. But in your hands it could answer your problem.
