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

First is quite critical. I use a couple of large coolers (one as a water
bath & one as a water bath for the mixture)
Large water volume & insulation kept the temperature on. Could never find
fish tank heaters that went high enough & never was willing to part with the
$ to buy Jobo's heaters.

Always use the 6 bath process. Figured if the commercial operations stuck
with 6 despite the pressure to reduce costs there must be some good reason.
The time & $ I'd spent to take the picture far exceeded any savings in time
or $ developing to take a chance.

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

I've asked this elsewhere but thought I would ask here as well cos I know
there are some colour experts among you all.

Two questions: firstly, how critical is E6 processing temp as I'm going to
try for the first time using a makeshift water bath setup. As far as I have
gathered so far, providing the temp doesn't vary by more than 1 degree
during the first dev bath, I should be OK.

and secondly, is the full 6 bath E6 process worth doing as opposed to the
shorter/quicker 3 bath E6 process and why?

Thanks,

Rob
