Hi !
Switching to a 4x5 setting for the condenser may be a false good idea.
As the condenser set is an optic system, it has to be somewhat matched
to the lens used to project the negative as Richard has pointed out
previously. This may explain why you've worsened the problem by placing
your frosted Mylar between the two condenser lenses. Give a try at the
solution I spoke about : place the Mylar above the condenser set or
below the set, just above the neg carrier. (I prefer the first solution)
But, as Marc said, it could be a whole bunch of unrelated problems
working you nuts.
Oh, BTW, try another batch of printing paper, who knows, your's could be
bad...
Mark Blackwell a écrit :
Another thing to check would be the alignment of the holder itself.
IIRC my D2 has a set of adjustments that allow you to level the holder
If one part of the neg is further from the source than another, you
would see a light fall off on one side or the other.
Uping the contrast Id personally see what a different contrast filter
would do in the filter drawer before I worried anymore about altering
the chemistry of the developer. If that didn't help Id try to find a
graded high contrast paper. Others here are much smarter than me, but I
would take a guess and guess you might find more than one problem
working together causing your problem.
Its frustrating, but its all part of the learning curve that we are on
for life.

Set it to a higher setting. IIRC you're printing 6x6. Change it to
the 4x5
setting. It'll cost you some light but should spread out the light a
bit
more. See if that helps.
