PUSH PROCESSING (B/W) These are general guidelines when no published development times are available. To use this chart multiply the published time at recommended ASA by the factor in parenthesis (ie. If Tri-X rated at 400ASA is normally developed for 6 mins in a standard soup, then when Tri-X is pushed three stops to 3200ASA development would be: 6 x 4.5 = 27 mins). Please use these recommendations as starting points only. In many cases these times will prove excessive, but when all else fails they can be a good guideline. Please note separate data for Tmax films. Standard Developer 1 stop push = (x1.5) 2 stop push = (x2.25) 3 stop push = (x4.5) Compensating Developer 1 stop push = (x1.4) 2 stop push = (x1.85) 3 stop push = (x2.5) TMax Films 1 stop push = no change 2 stop push = (x1.33) 3 stop push = (x1.66) *Compensating developers include Microphen, TMax, and any other developers which are specifically formulated for push processing |
