Well, I got a response from Sino Promise yesterday -- and my email client's threading attached it to one return addressed from ProPaperChem from January 18th. Apparently I missed it because it didn't say "Kodak". Any case, the original, Jan. 18th response suggested mid-February as EDA for the replacement Xtol, but I expect that will have been pushed back at least three weeks by my failure to spot the response in my inbox. The new response from Sino Promise didn't give any time frame. I'm not in a big hurry, I've still got two liters of replenisher and average one or two rolls a week.
Hello,
Just a quick question:
Has someone mixed one of those "bad xtol" bags, and got good results? Or are all of them bad?
I received today (a friend visiting my hometown) a bag of Xtol and it has precisely the first number included earlier here: 2019/10/07... Bought yesterday in a store in Madrid...
I thought that was happenning in America but not in Europe...
Thanks.
So, to see if at least I understand the situation:I'm sure you won't have any problems. I've been happily developing film for several weeks now with stuff from suspect batch. All is well.
That’s correct. It appears that some Xtol is good and some Xtol is bad.So, to see if at least I understand the situation:
Kodak said avoid these defective xtol batches
And nobody knows the real problem
But some people get weak negatives
And some people don't...
Thank you, Andrew... Yes, I exposed a frame a moment ago, at EI1600 with Tri-X, so I'll check it with that frame: just a short strip of film, and I'll use Kodak's time for it, so negative must be of relatively high contrast if developer is working normally.Do a clip test first, just to be sure.
I'm guessing that is an indication that the packages you have are exhibiting the "trade concern".I'm no Xtol expert: three bags in my life, but I don't remember seeing these particles before...
They didn't go, and after waiting and stirring for some time, they didn't go either... Looks like they'll stay.
This is it. I got xtol with sharp white particles. They're very small. Millions of them.

Powder A was not white, but veryvery light yellow, or ivory... Part B was white.
After mixing normally, I poured it inside the first bottle, and when developer was up to the top, I saw very small white particles inside the liquid, as if something was not totally dissolved... So I let it sit for a few minutes... I'll stir and see.
Be careful with this.Use a filter funnel. Ask me how I know.

Bueller? Bueller? Anyone?What was the correct address again?
Or put another way, what address did the people who got responses write?
