Favorite B&W Print Developer Formula

[Tom Hoskinson]

Another vote for Ansco 130 - unless I'm developing Azo prints ---

For me, when developing Azo prints: It's Michael A. Smith's Amidol formula (IMHO, print tonality always trumps working solution tray life) !

Michel;

There is a third possible answer.

I cannot test every possible developer formulation out there, but I do know the pitfalls and needs inherent in many developers. Therefore I wanted to heighten awareness. Not raising the point would also be as irresposible as naming names.

True, and I see your point. But as you noticed, the first reaction to a general statement is to look for concrete instances thereof. Anyway, knowing your track record, I would not accuse you of smearing other people's product to your benefit. Should you have reserves to express, I would take them as coming from a man of science, not from the man of commerce.

Michel;

I've already posted them, have been censored for them and I guess they were either edited or deleted.

I will no longer comment on any of my commercial ventures, nor can I test all products.
