I think you should read the Pure-Silver list for b+w info instead. Having said that, I have a very specific reason to presoak: I load wet reels. Loading wet reels will cause small drops of water to soak into the film. These areas will have a different density. Pre-soaking eliminates this. I don't see any difference between soaked and unsoaked film, except for the lack of spots. There have been very informative but inconclusive threads on this topic on the pure-silver list. http://www.tundraware.com/pure-silver/ tv
