Hi,
I just try the Pyro Plus Paper Developer by Donald Miller. I used the formula in UnblinkingEye.com.
I wonder should I use normal stop bath or plain water with PPPD. I use plain water when I developed the Pyrocat HD.

Thanks,
TN

So far I use just plain water but think it might be an effect if selenium tone the print.

I haven't used the PPPD yet, but thanks for calling my attention to it. I've been using Amidol for years but with lack of availability and $200 a pound, I fear I must change.

My printing sessions run about 4-5 hours. How well does the PPPD keep in a tray, and the relative speed of a given paper over Dektol. I find I loose about a stop with the amidol formula I use, so a gain would be wonderful. I have always used a fairly strong paper stop bath 5-10ml acetic acid to a liter of water. I would guess this would be good for PPPd also.
