Well, Phil, yes, I manage without but I'm doing some extended print runs archiving a customers collection on fibre paper, so I tried my dishwarmer (and it failed) because it makes life easier...

Thanks, gentlemen for your replies, I just wanted to kick the idea around to see if it had been tried. I may well replace what I had - a 4' 'proper' heater - unless I can get to a shop that sells the...

Plate warmer for dish warmer ?

My Photax dish warmer has finally given up and I was considering wether a cloth type plate warmer (around 4 ' long and running on @65 Watts) would be a suitable replacement. One of the advantageuos I...

I'm not 100% sure of the exact nature of the problem, so forgive me if I miss the mark.
The waviness of the film could be caused by faulty transport winding on (I have seen this occurence), or by...

Hello Michael, second paulc comment: you need a full wash after fix, @ 45 minutes to one hour tap water or 30 minutes after wash aid or equivalent. Insufficient wash does result in staining -...

Coming in at the end here, but would second your finding that utilising 'spent' fixer as a stop isn't a good idea because it can inhibit the fresh fixer action, or make it less efective - see...

Michael, I find Tetenal Eukobrom to be neutral with a wide range of papers - I did have a brief run with the Adox MCC, which was very good, and may do some more with it.

Roger, et al, sorry for the slip about citric fixer, my thoughts must have been intertwining with those on stop bath.

Mike,
Odourless fixer is usually acid - often citric - though I think there is a neutral pH fix by Rollei. Unfortunately FX 40 isn't widely stocked, though I've had it direct from Fotospeed before...

Hi Marek, yes, pretty much. The first 3 inversions follow each other over around the first 40-50 seconds, not spaced precisely but fairly constant movement, so the developer will still be in motion...

I'm only halfway through a 50 box of the Adox 100ASA but have no issues with the QC as yet. Described as a classic 1950's art emulsion, it has lots of scope for interpretation with...
