Thanks Ed and Nick. Tonight I discovered that most of the problem of getting to a grey print lay with exhausted chemicals. I had made up a fresh batch of developer to see if the prints from this dev were different before throwing away or not the older developer. I had been having difficulties with needing very low Y or even C in some negs. I have a previous thread on this. Anyway at the time the difference between old and new appeared to be marginal but I thought I'd use the new developer anyway. Of course time has gone by, the older dev has become older and stupidly I didn't throw way the older dev. So I discovered tonight that I was in fact using the older dev when I swopped dev. After changing I was getting close to grey at my first attempt.
I have had to break off because Wednesday night is pub( bar) night with the neighbours but things are looking much more promising. Thanks for advice on where to spot on the coastal neg.
I'll keep you informed of progress but I have a much better feeling about the likelihood of success.
