Timing

Hello guys, I have a Kentmere Paper Fineprint VC F.G. Warmtone D.Wt, I'm practicing with it and I dont know how much time I supposed to leave the paper in Developer, Stop Bath, Fixer and Running Water. I did with pinhole and sometimes my paper was yellow tone and the image. Thanks.

Hi, Gustavo,You need to develop until you get deep, strong blacks, which in std developers such as D72 takes about 2 min for PE and 3-4 minutes for FB papers at 70F or 20C degrees. 30s in the stop bath is typically sufficient,fixng takes between 1-2 minutes; washing takes 2 min for PE and 30nmin for FB papers' yellow tone could indicate a safelight issue as well as under fixing. take a look at two-bath fixing to avoid that.
