Response to PMK experiences

It seems something is very wrong here. PMK exhibits much less fogging than Xtol. While TX is a rather foggy film, it should not have any more fog with PMK than Xtol, certainly. Also, if you are requiring a grade 4 paper, it indicates that your developing time is too short. Normally a PMK negative appears somewhat thinner than a regular developed negative. I strongly suggest you get The Book of Pyro by Gordon Hutchings and follow his methods. You may want to try some HP- 5+, a much less foggy film with a genuine 400 speed. Much straighter curve as well.
