My standard dev time is 3mins. for FB.
Only because I find it hard to judge by inspection and have known my results to be too inconsistant and erratic. I'm pleased for those who can manage it but I don't feel comfortable judging prints by safe light. I feel like I've wasted too much time and materials in the past so if something goes a miss, I'd rather start a fresh. What would you suggest about marking the prints to be able to clearly identify them afterwards?

You could always use a series of small notches cut into the edge of the papers a bit like film notches. Or a series of small pin pricks will have the same effect.

I suggest that you write a note on the back of the paper of the paper type, developer and any other variables immediately after you have made the exposure and before you develop using a soft pencil. |

A few tips:
- I wouldn't bother with Oriental Seagull II. - ILFORD MGIV can work very well depending on the negative; however it often isn't a particularly good match for my negatives. - seems to work well with XP2 Super negatives. - I've found Adox MCC 110 to be perhaps the most flexible, high quality paper around unless one wants a "dedicated" warmtone paper such as MGWT or Adox Premium Variotone. - ILFORD Galerie is another excellent choice if contrast matches with the negative.

Marty -
I will be following your progress here with great interest. Only other thing I can think of is toning. I don't know if that is part of your process or within the scope of this project. Great project and thanks for sharing it with us.

That's true Keith, but it doesn't mean that the papers are not formulated differently.

I'll also be contacting Linhof House to see about getting hold of some Bergger.
