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
