TMY-2 & Pyrocat-MC

[Josef Guay]

I don't want to say that I am struggling with this combination, but it has been more challenging than any other film combination that I have worked with. Pyrocat-MC is easy to work with most film. At least in my darkroom, TMY-2 needs much more development than any other film that I have encountered. To get printable negative, I have extended the development time, increased the developing temperature, and increased my agitation. I'm getting close so i'm not complaining. just checking to see if others have had similar experiences.

I'm using PC-HD and have found myself wondering whether the TMY-2 is taking "more" time than other films I've worked with too. Nothing I can quantify without digging back through old data, but it's been a niggling feeling I've had for a while now. (developed for colour head printing on VC papers)

Hmm...

Though not Pyrocat I have found the same thing with TMY-2 and Xtol replenished. I posted a thread on that last week.
