[pure-silver] Re: how critical is E6 temp and...

I always use distilled water for developer and PhotoFlo for my B&W work. I use it throughout the E-6 process. Reasons are that I don't want to depend on the acidity/alkalinity or other properties of the local tap water to be consistent. I can buy steam distilled water for USD 0.70 per gallon. That is quite cheap for the quantities I use. I think that any time you can eliminate / control a variable in the process, you have a much better chance for success.

Why are you using distilled water? The Kodak specs allow for some pretty hard 
water.

1000 ppm for the wash water.
