Larry ~ you may find, as I did, that DDX 1+6, in addition to being convenient to mix and store, produces a rather pleasing difference in gradation in your prints than that produced by D76. I print on Kodak Polymax Fine Art (fiber), and DDX "expands" print zones II and III (opening up the shadows), and shifts zones IV, V, and VI higher on the scale. There is some slight compression of zones VII and VIII, but unless you're shooting a scene composed mostly of those bright values, nothing appreciable is lost. The pleasing print gradation produced by TMax, DDX, and Kodak FA can be easily charted in Matcher...and, more important, seen and 'felt' in the prints.
