Hi Chris, I have worked with both these stocks - i prefer pf2 which i find to be extremely robust in terms of tolerance of light and to create high contrast images. I don’t know about the developer you are using as i have used dektol and mostly rodinal. 7302 may well be the one that needs the lower voltage? I have used that before too and found it similar to pf2. I can’t remember which was more sensitive. Both stocks to my knowledge are fine with dark room redlight and like i said pf2 can tolerate a quite a lot of light.
Hope that is helpful, Mary On 1 Oct 2018, at 11:21, Chris G <[email protected]> wrote: > Frameworkers, > > I'm trying to figure out a few things about these print stocks.
