   My method is Very simple and direct; develop, fix.
No stop bath and no rinses. Prints after the fix go into
a hold and soak tray. I use non-woven polyester sheets
to keep the prints separated. The same for the two
following soaks. The last soak is overnight.

   If I were to use D-72 I would make up one liter of
working strength by diluting the full strength 1:7. That
would be 125ml of stock plus 875ml of water. Use 1/3 of
that liter of working strength for each 8x10. Allow 4 minutes
of constant agitation for development. Turn the print over
upon itself now and then to insure a thorough mixing
of the fresh but very dilute solution
   Let me know which fixer you use so that I can suggest
a dilution. I use sodium thiosulfate pure and simple. It is
a dry concentrate which will keep for many years. I mix
fresh fixer just prior to use.
   BTW, if you are testing using 5x7 use 140ml of that
dilute D-72. Dan
