Time to do TX320, Rodinal or Xtol?

[Christiaan Phleger]

Going to do a large batch of TX320, is it Rodinal 1:50 or Xtol 1:0? Deep tank, about 25-30 sheets.

Well, did them in Rodinal, turned out nice, lower grain than I expected. Ended up hanging to dry in the hangers instead of clipping them, I had a problem or two with the extra slippery Photo-Flo-ed sheets.

Dear RidingWaves,

If you are going to use Xtol in the future, download the Xtol data sheet from Kodak. It contains a wealth of information.

Yeah, I was going to do the Xtol route but my big tanks were 13 ltr and I didn't have enough on hand. So I used smaller tanks (2ltr) and did Rodinal 1:50.
Still trying to dial in the agitation for sheets in Rodinal. For small hand tanks I do constant agitation for the first 45 sec then like every 2 min. Hard to tell if each min or every 2 min for sheet works better.
