Hi! I've been following this thread as I bought some Pyrocat HD last week.
I'm using HP5 in ABC Pyro and the densitometer says 1.7 max less fb/fog.
I guess that's good for a fast film. I am setting up to try carbon printing
again
and want negatives for both silver and carbon. I've been reading Sandy King
and Sullivan. Best, Rich

typically only use T-max 100/400 for myself, but up until recently I have had
all kinds of film thrown at me from clients thus requiring 'research'.
I've wanted to try some other flavors of pyrocat but haven't gotten around
to it. Until recently, I was one of the few places that could provide
that kind of processing commercially. Now I'm moving and will only be
doing it for myself.

development Chart usually is a good starting point, what I've found out is that
those times are a bit short to me so I just add about 15 to 20% BUT what I also
do is to rate film by half the nominal speed, yes, I like contrast and density
and though I might well abuse the wellness of Pyrocat HD in what respects to
non blocking highlights... this seems to work well for me for printing on
silver, scanning and not as often making platinum/palladium prints as
well.

development times at www.pyrocat-hd.com....
site look reasonable to me except for that of the film speed change, I set my
meter at half the film speed for all of films out there: my vice ?

thing about pyrocat hd is that there's no one authoritative listing of
times/temps/dilutions for this developer. When I found myself AGAIN
spending a 1/2 hour googling for times for a film I'd never developed before, I
made the suggestion at the http://www.pyrocat-hd.com site that their's
would be the best place to list whatever times Sandy had as I'd find those more
believable than ones found on the Massive Development Chart or some forum as we
don't know who came up with those times, if they were rank amateurs, or just
some prankster inputting any ol' thing.
