Ok I've got every compound needed to contact print with M&P Amidol formula on enlarging paper except for the Benzotriazole or BB compound. Can I leave it out of the formula?

The MAS enlarging paper Formula calls for 60cc of a 1% Benzotriazole solution. If you leave the Benzotriazole out, it will raise the papers's fog level a little and will probably result in a slightly warmer toned result. If you need a gram of Benzotriazole, PM me.

Do you have Edwal Liquid Orthazite? You could substitute that for benzotriazole. Liquid Orthazite should be a 3% solution, I believe.

You could try leaving it out, but you may get foggy results. If you can't wait, try increasing the KBr and/or reducing the development time and increasing exposure.

Tom, I'm gonna order some first thing in the AM from Art Craft, If you were in Chicago beleive me I'd run out and get it from you.

Dave I'll try your recomendation, I'm only proofing but I wanted to start off on the right foot. I read about the edwall in another thread, I should be able to get that localy in a pinch.

Guys thanks for the help, I hate being a newbie!!

It seems to be a trend, people acting like they are in dire need and it turns out to be routine question/answer. Too bad if it bothers you that people would read your message expecting some urgent need on your part and then feel like their time is wasted. There are hundreds of messages here every day, yours are no more or less important than anyones.

What would be an 'urgent photographic emergency', drowning in the darkroom sink? Perhaps an infusion of humor is in order.

Thank you for the humor break, Wayne you must be a educator or Dean of students after a long winded lecture like that. I'm going straight to my corner.
