Q1. What's your favorite formula? Foma FV-11, formulae by Windisch, Muir, or Adams, or Pyrocat-HD, metol version of Pyrocat-HD? Why?(posted 8077 days ago)Q2. What films you think work the best with them?
Q3. What kind of experiments did you do (in terms of tweaking the formula), and what did you think about it?
I have played with ideas of using pyrocatechin for my next formula, but because there isn't much much less info on this reductant compared to ascorbic acid, I thought to ask about it here. I already did some search of past articles but there weren't much, and the comments were scattered among a lot of PMK related discussions. I'm interested in minimum non-selective stain, and pyro has been excluded from my developers of choice mainly for this reason.
One particular question -- TMX has a plain gelatin layer to slow down its initial development but does it stain well in pyrocatechin formulae?
Thanks!
