Well there have been some interesting points made by several of you
regarding processing times for HIE.  I normally give HIE to the local pro
lab - the water here gives great limescale deposits on washing :-(  Am now
looking for a used water softener as there are some 4x5 HSI sheets in the
fridge crying out to be used.

So, what is the consensus on processing times for HIE in D76?  It seems
that Kodak have revised the processing times on their HIE instruction
sheets - have those of you doing your own processing also revised your
times?

I will be using a Jobo processor - the general opinion was that processing
times should be reduced by 10% from those stated in the HIE data sheet.


All the best,
