[pure-silver] Re: Fwd: Kentona, response from Freestyle Photo

What's worse is their solution. "If you are using a metol based developer,
try switching to a phenidone base developer or vice versa"

So it's bad in either?

I'm using Dektol, and I also have sprint. Is that the switch they are
talking about?

How critical do you think distilled water could be?

I don't know if this line of questioning is worth the effort. I have
10 sheets left. I'll play with them, but I don't think this is a paper
I'm going to waste my limited darkroom time on.

Too bad.
