Can you help me with a website or info on how best to develop TriX400 pushed to 1600 which I'll be developing in Xtol? I usually develop in Xtol at full strength. Thanks for helping out.
Kind regards, Nicole

xtol data sheet

I use the published times in the xtol data sheet less 10% for my condensor enlarger with good results.

Nicole, you can find times for this combo, and many others, on the Massive Dev. Chart at digitaltruth.com. I've downloaded and printed the whole thing and put it in a 3-ring notebook. I've also added times from unblinkingeye.com as well as my own notes. Keep in mind that these should be starting times only. It's always good to do test rolls.

The above advice may be quite good as well.
