Frequently I'll have left over test strips from one batch that just gets me in the ballpark and the real print will still need tweaking. Forget about different sizes being the same as they are always different, at least here anyway.</x-tad-bigger>

Subject: [pure-silver] contrast changes
<x-tad-bigger> I've been making "work prints" for the first time: that is, enlarging to a print on 8x10 paper and getting contrast right before bumping up to the more expensive 11x14. Usually this works pretty well. But in my last printing session, it didn't: the big print looked a lot "flatter" than the little print, which looked fine, at the same paper grade.</x-tad-bigger>
<x-tad-bigger>I guess I could have agitated less, but I made two big prints and made a point of agitating the second one so that this wouldn't be a problem. Could larger paper be subtly different in contrast? Or could a bigger print just "look" flatter?</x-tad-bigger>
