Dave,
I'd be interested, for one. I've lived over the well that
I drink from for some time now, and I imagined that this was an
insuperable problem, but it seems this might not be the case after
some research, and I'd like to start doing it again. You need to
do a lot of things that weren't common in the 70s.
Also, none of the materials I used when I was in school still
exist except Tri-X, but it seems there are good materials,
but not cheap.
I imagine that drum processing would work OK if you did the test
print so that the development time was on the long side, say 90
seconds or more. How big do you want to print?
