Digital BW, The Print

Hi Bob,

Diafine gives good results with Tri-X at 1600 but you're pretty 
much "locked" into that speed. Otherwise I would go for DD-X as 
Anchell recommends or other chemically similar developers like 
HC-110 or Microphen.

You may also want to have a look at photo.net archives or the 
pure-silver mailing list for more info.
