Which is pretty much right on what the massive film developing chart has, when you move from 20 C to 21 C (70 F). I'm at about 260 ml of Xtol in a 1 L tank. If I were printing conventionally, I'd probably be closer to Mark's 16-17 minutes. For me, that leads to dense highlights that my scanner blows out. As it is, I'll sometimes drop back to 13 mins (about 90% of 14.5 min) if I'm worried about them. -- Eric http://canid.com/
