Digital BW, The Print

Ive since sold my nikon 8000, but I recntly used to shoot hp5
and develop in a product called Dixactol.
This is a pyro like dev, which was formualted and sold by a guy named
Barry Thornton. The poor fellow died in the last year or two, and so
did his website along with him.
The formula may be avail from photographer foundry, not sure though.
It was an amazing developer. Produced incredible edge sharpening and
tonal range that was spectacular...
Also, I once used another of his products for techpan, called
techxactol or soemthing like that....WOW WOW.
This opened shadows a bit, but the detail level was ridiculous.
Too bad\, it does  not appear to be available
