Hi all, I was looking at the Agfa paper I have and it has an ES of 1.35 for grade 2 under my enlarger [Devere 504] and I was wondering how others approach their testing.
[1] Do you test your film based on an ES of 1 in plotter and adjust later for the paper ES of 1.35 or whatever --
or
[2] Do you adjust you dilution to give you an appropriate SBR range based on the ES of 1.35.
If [1] and you get an SBR of lets say 10 ish for the 4 minute test film then when you apply the ES of 1.35 the 4 minute SBR will extend out to about 13 or more -- and -- when you add in a flare factor the SBR extends further.
or do you process your 4 minute test to give say an SBR of 8 so that when the ES of 1.35 is applied the 4 minute development time reflects a more realistic SBR of about 10?
I'm not sure what differences there would be in the two negatives -- any takers 
Steve
