Digital BW, The Print

Andre,

I have tried dozens of developers with TP, and I think Kodak has the others
beat when all the various factors are taken into account.  I'm usually not
inclined to pay a big company monopoly rent, but in this case, I gave up and
think it is worth it to use Technidol.

Paul,

Thanks for sharing your findings. My previous experience (several
years ago) with TP were with Rodinal (maybe not the best choice for
scanning) and FG-7 plus Sodium Sulfite with which I was able to get
better tonality than Rodinal.

Maybe I should take a look at TP with Technidol.

Cheers,
Andre
