Re: Dartmoor this Saturday anyone?

Paul, sorry to hear you can't make it this weekend. I shall probably go anyway, in view of the weather forecast they predict. I'll tell you all about it.

The name Jobo ATL and CPP have been mentioned throughout this forum, but I'm in a complete muddle as to which is which. At the moment...

Re: HP B9180

Thanks for the advise guys. Following a long and hard thought went eventually with the HP. The review at www.photo-i.co.uk swayed me. Up to now have been more than pleased with the results. Might even consider an exhibition. Sadly couldn't make it to Joanna's workshop due to an arrival of a grandson...

HP B9180

My trusted Epson 1290 has finally given up the ghost... A friend has suggested an HP B9180. Has anybody out there any thoughts on this particular printer? Pro's or con's. Alternatively, thoughts on other A3+ printers. Love the new layout of the website. It may take me some time to get to grips with ...

Hi Sean, according to the Ilford PDF the developing time for Fuji acros 100 is 6:45 minutes @ 20 degrees. You can look it up on their website for confirmation. Agitate for the first 5 seconds and there after every 30 seconds. Good luck and look forward to seeing the results.

Westonbirt

It's getting that time of year again and wondering if anyone is contemplating a trip to Westonbirt. The forestry commission's website indicates 'turning yellow'. I imagine the amount of rain we've had recently the trees will be slow to take on their full autumn colour.
