folgernol is pretty cool!
I used it with FP4, APX100 and it works fine
It didn;t work with APX 400 though extremely thin negc and very strong stain.

I have to give this a try.. The meterials are just too available to pass this one up..

You have to try the 2spoons Folger+a little milk+2 spoons of sugar.. thats my morning mix..

woow!!! This was new for me, even if I had read about that it is a lot of stuff which
is possible to use as developers. One of my students did walk outside the workshop and pick up bark under the five oaks standing there. Boiled it in one hour in water, let it cool down and use it as toner for the cyanotypes. They was just amazing. Yes I know it was Tannin he get.
But this...just wonder if we have this kind of coffe in sweden. ..Fantastic thanks for your sharing!!

Lasse, any instant coffee will do. I buy the cheap brand from the supermarket here and it works fine

has any one looked at how the stain colour might react with graded vs VC papers - it seems to be a cross between the yellowy green of pyrogallol and the deep browns of pyrocatechol. I might have to try this (no ... I WILL have to try this out)!

Actually it prints well in VC paper, had to use a filter #3 for Fp4 (the ones I kept notes) but could have used a 3-1/2
I printed some of my photos in Ilford MG4 and AGPA MCP both RC

This is astounding!!! I had heard of this method but I was expecting a neg that was barely recognizable. This one looks great!!! Still I'm not sure I'm brave enought to risk a putative Pulitzer Prize winning film on it
