Developer for Bergger Print Film

[Fatih Ayoglu]

Hi all,
I have recently come across Bergger Print film, specifically developed for interpositions/negatives. So that made me to think for masking purposes.

Does anybody know what sorts of developer / concentration would give a low contrast low Dmax results with this film?

I have XTOL, Rodinal, POTA developer in house.

Cheers,
Fatih

I always use hc110 for making copy negatives
Gives repeatable results

I use it for enlarging negatives for palladium/platinum print. One of my image is on the box label. I use HC110 for the positive film and ABC pyro for the printing negative

Any reason why you use different developers?

Also what diluation and dev time do you use for HC110?

Thank you both, HC110 keeps coming as the preferred developer and I was trying to avoid another developer.

I have Ilford PQ as well, I guess the only way to find out this is I’ll buy a box and start trying.

yes, otherwise I wouldn't do it.

Dilution B most of the time for 3'30'' to 6" depends on what I want. You can develop it under inactinic light so it's very easy to see what you get.
