I soon hope to include a range of developer recipes I've produced, but further tests need to be made before I can release them.
At the moment I'm working on a lovely warm toned paper developer. It has a metol/hydroquinone base, and gives beautifully rich luminous tones on Agfa fibre based paper.
I also have a cold toned formula at the 'almost refined' stage.
I also have a couple film developers in the works, but they need much more extensive testing.
One is a compensating formula that keeps full detail in the shadows while bringing the highlight values down to around Zone VIII on a normal scale. Film speed seems to be unaffected so far.
Follow this link for more information on some basic chemical components...
I've begun making a rough MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) for the formulas, but it still has a few gaps.
Please contact me at lorenacarrington@hotmail.com for further information... I'd be happy to give any work-in-progress recipes to anyone interested in trying them out. I'm always looking for a second opinion.
