I have a number of negatives that are too dense due to over development. TRI-X Professional fixed with a hardener. Using Kodak's Farmer's Reducer and after seven 4 minutes baths I achieved some noticeable reduction. Am I on the right track here or is there a better method?

It might be easiest to just print the negs as they stand. I have some overly dense Tri-X negatiges too, and when I tried to print them I was pleasantly surpried to see what good prints were possible. They had a very pleasing aspect. Making them took extraordinarily long enlarger exposures, and finding the right ( very low) contrast setting was a bit tedious, but good prints were definitely possible. I think the time and effort of bleaching could be spent finding the right way to make the prints.
