Thanks. I’ve been testing Perceptol and DDX extensively so I’ll stick with them for a while but I think I’ll go with the 4812 for my paper.

Thanks. I found those already. Also Moersch Eco 4812. Amazing shelf life. Their fixer and stop both look to equal bellini’s Eco products without being labelled as Eco.

Yep. Made in USA. As a liquid so no chance of shipping without it being costly and bad for the environment.

I don’t think the mat design is the issue. User error can be though. You don’t want to be measuring the temperature of the tray. Prints going in and being agitated will stir the liquid and ensure the...

I have two thermometers, one in the dev and one in the fix, and am careful not to have them in contact with the base of the tray. The room temp is between 15°C and 18°C.

I have to emphasise that the pic I posted shows it to be significantly more extreme than it actually is. I think I know what you mean about dampness though and you could well be right. I’ve seen...

Yes, that’s correct. 100ml stock + 200ml water.

@mike I used 100ml and 200ml to cover the 270ml requirement. I devved tmy2 Fomapan 200 and HP5. Also the same films in DDX. The difference wasn’t as much as I’d expected. I’m waiting on a calibration...

I went with a 1+2 ratio. The negs looked denser than I’d expected. Especially the Fomapan. I thought that was going to be really held back as I’ve been using supergrain which Robert Vonk reckoned was...

Safe lights were away from the enlarger and trays. Did a test exposure - still mottled. Dev times were over the recommended for the dev and paper. Spoke with Ilford this morning and am...

Just tested some new MGRC in the same chems and it’s fine. The Kentmere was a confirmed fresh batch from a good supplier though and I only opened it yesterday.

Mottled prints

First time in the darkroom for a couple of decades tonight. Seemed to be going ok but then noticed my prints had a subtle mottling in the blacks. I made some mistakes I’ve since found out but not...

Thanks.

Maybe if there’s no visual difference from 1+2 to 1+3 it’s worth trying 2+3?

Actually the 1+7 is the old type. I have the newer 1+15. As it’s based on AM74 though and Rollei supergrain which I’ve used a fair bit is also based on AM74 I’m not that surprised. The supergrain...
