[pure-silver] Re: PMK

Thanks Jim.

All my life I have been using the standard alkaline/acidic process.  Can
you describe the steps?  How is the development arrested without a stop
bath or perhaps it is not needed.  What is used as a fixer, just pure
sodium thiosulphate?  Better yet, are there any references to read that
deal with the process?

Other than for use with PMK, what are the advantages (if any) of an all
alkaline process for film development.

You need a much shorter wash and can forego a hypo-clearing agent step.

Alkaline-fixed film needs about five minutes of wash to be archivally 
processed, without any washing aid needed.
