Christine,
Among best (I would say THE best, but it might sound immodest) on pyro is
Sandy King's article, "Mystery and Science of Pyro" in Post Factory #4.
This reviews, summarizes and UPDATES usage, by tank, tray, stand, &
densitometer, et al. Sandy's own invention, based on pyrocatechin, "the
other pyro" (he calls it Pyrocat-HD), apparently has enough advantages to
make folks adopt it, tho I don't know about T-Max.
There's also Stuart Melvin's pyro on lith film and pyro points from
"Skeptics and Believers." Not to mention Liam's Fun & Games With Blue
Toner, Dallas Simpson on toning with tin, Bob Schramm on Daguerreotypy,
just about the entire history and practice of paper negatives & cliche
verre, and the legendary "Gold Flap" from this very list (this last
followed by reports from a couple of folks who did it and lived to tell
the tale, "live, from the gold field"). Plus, believe it or not, lots
more.
And that's just Issue #3. E-mail me offlist & I'll tell you (and anyone
who asks) how to get it (or for that matter any P-F to date but #1 or #2)
for cost of the postage as "free introductory copy."
cheers,
Judy
