Shannon, Did you first and foremost make sure that your developer was well mixed? Just because you start with a liquid developer doesn't mean that you don't need to mix it up. I had a bad experience with someone that used one of my darkrooms years ago. He made some HC110 to process some film and complained that his film was thin, but he marked it up to under exposure. We went to process some of our enlarged negative materials and every thing was extremely weak. I soon noticed that the color in the bottle was not uniformed and the difference was not shadowing but rather that it was not fully mixed. Shook the bottle and WOW! Back to expected results. We even trimmed the dilution a little to compensate for poor mixing.
Thanks,
