Thanks to all for the advise. As I live in Canada purchasing PMK may be awkward. If Ilford multigrade FB is not the best choice in paper with this negative\PMK combination I may just try a more dilute XTOL. Ilford FB is my paper of choice & I do not wish to change to other products. However my curiosity is aroused & I may try PMK at some later date.By the way one more question!! Is the staining effect of PMK anything like C41 developed XP2?? Regards to all, Melvin(posted 8485 days ago)
