First, with XTOL the pre-soak is not required. Second, you may want to consider trying 1+2 or 1+3 dilutions. Finally, you will need to run your own tests to determine the proper development times. Obviously, with the continuous agitation they will be shorter than what you are used to, but exactly how much shorter is something you have to determine for yourself. A good starting point is 15% shorter than with intermittent agitation. Nathan Adam Bridge wrote: > I ran my first roll of film through the JOBO last night.
