Do you have a favorite film for Xtol?
Yes, several. From my processing notes:
Agfapan APX25 @ EI 50
Delta 100 @ EI 200
My standard development is XTOL 1:1, room temperature (usually 72-74
degrees). Take whatever the data sheet recommendation is, add 10-15%
time, agitate very gently 30 seconds at start, then extremely gently 5
seconds every two minutes.
TMax 100 @ EI 200
TMax 400 @ EI 800
Same on temperature and time, but agitate vigorously for 15 seconds at
start and gently at 30 second intervals. (TMax was formulated for
machine processing and needs a lot of chemistry movement to produce
fully developed negatives.)
This schema is intended to produce excellent negatives for scanning.
For wet lab printing, you want a little higher dmax and contrast so
adjust processing accordingly.
