Response to pyrocat-hd post stain ? post-stain pyrocat

Pyrocat-HD does not induce as much fog as PMK. So if you were expecting the negatives to look like PMK, that might be part of the problem. Also, the stain of catechol is more subtle appearing than pyro; the stain is more image specific, not a general stain. However, its effect, in terms of printing, is quite pronounced. This is particularly true with VC papers. Lastly, slower films in general do not appear to stain as heavily as faster films. Nonetheless, the net effect is still pretty strong; there is simpy less fog with slower films so they appear less stained.
