I had difficulty with PMK in my Jobo at first. I ended up splitting my
development in two and have not had any issues since. For example if the
development time was 10 minutes, I developed it twice for 5 minutes each. I
end using twice the developer but PMK is very cheap and worth it to me.
I’m not a PyroCat user but I know those who have great results with it as well,
Eric, If you want to get rid of your PMK, you’re welcome to send it to me...

This exchange made me wonder what to do with all the PMK I have mixed. :D

Once I switched to Jobo processing, I used PMK for a while till I learned of
pyrocat hd and made the switch to that developer. PMK can have some unevenness
in rotary whereas pyrocat seems to avoid that with all the benefits of PMK.
I was seduced into trying PMK several times over the years and always came to
the same conclusion that it was too difficult to
get away from the mottling on sheet film. Recently I have been using
Pyrocat-HD and it is for me much better than PMK.
No mottling at all and nice brownish negs on rolls or sheets that print
beautifully. The only problem I have had was recently with FP4, but
that turned out to be a problem with Edwals LFN instead.
