HP5+ for N update
Well I am screwed. I just ran N and my new index for the new emulsion is 320 from the previous 200. Now this stinks.
For z1 I got a reading of .11 using the same dev time of 6 min 15 seconds as before but now my z8 is 1.44 a bit
So now my normal, normal + 1 and +2 have changed. The new rule, every single new box I use I will test to make sure I am on, Since this box I have now is only 25 sheets I am just going to guess and blow through it. I will order 3 ? 100 sheet boxes to have all the same emulsion so when I test the first box the rest will be fine. No more 1 box at a time. I will always have to buy in 2 or 3 boxes.
New projected speeds and times for HC110 1:45 @ 68F with 5 minute pre-rinse in Jobo and 60 second water stop bath.
N= Speed Time
N-1 200 5 min
N 320 5 min 50 sec
N+1 500 8 min
N+2 640 13 min 10 sec
Once I use up the entire 25-sheet box I will re-test with 100-sheet box for road trip. So bummed.
