Is all the silver in a sheet of graded paper reduced when a borderless,
maximum density, totally black print is made?
If so is there any reason to use any fixer at all?
Also if a VC paper is printed the same, but at contrast extremes, is

     How strong should I make up stop bath for colour use? I've seen

In another thread about colo[u]r processing, I asked for recommended stop bath
strengths (in % acetic acid). Somebody said 2%, which I'd never heard before.
So I went a-Googling, and here are just a few of the recommendations I found
out there:

Is my lens wonky?
I recently bought a new Omega/Arkay 35mm carier (pn 423-352) with an
aperture that is slightly larger than (24 x 36) frame size, in the hopes
of printing the entire frame without having to resort to a metal file.

Just shot a few films of Kodak T-max 400 (almost as good as the Ilford
counterpart, but a lot cheaper to get in Germany ;-) ). While printing
the film on a condensor enlarger, I found that the prints where too
grainy. ('ve had the same problem with Ilford Delta 400, so I think I

I recently bought a used Beseler 45 MX - I am looking for grade
filters product references which could be cut-fitted to the 45 MX

B&H is closed for the holidays so I was wondering if it would be cheaper to buy
my film in Prague than to get here in a local shop.  LonelyPlanet lists Milan
Skoda Fototechnika and CTK Foto Shop as two good photo places to go to. I
generally shoot mostly Tri-X and Fuji Reala but ...

Turns out it's not an unfounded rumor after all.
But according to this account, it is the "T-grain" films that use less silver

Well whats his name is at it again.  This time, aside from being one
of the best printers in the world, he invented the use of negative

I'm interested in mounting some of my 5x7 fiber prints.  I'd like to try
using a household iron to dry mount...of course I wouldn't try this for
anything bigger but I've read numerous success stories and I'm guessing the
success rate is higher for smaller FB prints.

Does anyone have any info on processing Tech Pan sheet film (4x5) in
Xtol? I can't seem to find much documentation on this combination. All
I really need is a EI/Temp/Time chart. Any info or a point in the
right direction would be incredibly helpful.

An on_and_on_and_ongoing thread about borax/metaborate prompts me to
this post.
The following is actually not necessary to know even for hombrewers,
but some might like or need to know anyway.
