Re: [Digital BW] Re: PMK Pyro - Also check Pyrocat-HD Formula

2005-12-14 by Louis de Stoutz

I've been using PMK for years and I love it. The stock really keeps for 
many years! Unfortunately on 35mm I almost always get streaks from the 
perforation (not an issue on MF), something that has ruined many 
pictures. I've tried different agitation schemes etc., to no avail. 
because of that I looked recently into PyroCat. No streaks, but much 
less staining. My tests (esp. concerning "scannability") haven't yet 
gotten far enough for me to decide on which to continue.
