Response to PMK experiences

from Doremus Scudder (ScudderLandreth@compuserve.com)
I second the suggestion to get Hutching's "Book of Pyro". You should also know that, due to the stain, which acts as density, your usual densitomiter readings will be off. Use the blue channel of a color densitometer to get accurate readings for plotting curves. Make sure you keep the film submerged in the developer as much as possible to reduce arial staining. Also try using a water stop, a non-hardening fixer (preferably alkaline) and make sure you return the film to the developer after the fix for two minutes with agitation to set the stain. I've had absolutely no fogging problems with PMK at all so give it another try. Hope this helps, ;^D)
