tri-x @200 with xtol developing time

[taylan]

hi
i need a starting time, temperature and agitation combo for tri-x rated 200. my developer is xtol.

P.S. i can take good results with D-76, 1+1, 20C, first 30s continuous and 5s for every 30s agitation for my darkroom conditions.

what dilution of Xtol are you using?

I haven't done any rigorous testing, but when I pull Tri-X to 200 (bright sunny conditions, say), I shorten my development by 20%.

I use Xtol stock, which normally is 7 minutes at 20 C, with standard agitation (first initial 30, then 2-3 inversions every 30 seconds), shortened it's 5 minutes 40 seconds (5.6 minutes). Negs look good to me, but again I haven't done any side-by-side testing.
