Kodak TP + Neutol

This post is similar to my last one about "Homemade dektol". Answers
found there are very interesting and rich of suggestion. The fact is
always the same, but a new post is better to obtain more specific
answers.

The matter is: how to obtain "line art" negatives starting from Kodak
TP at 100 ISO treated with Neutol? In practice, which diluition of
Neutol is better? How many minutes of treatment?

Thanks in advance to all experts I've found here!

Which Neutol/Neofin: Blue, Doku, CW ...?

If you are referring to a paper developer, start with the T&T
for Dektol:

I mean Neutol NE, for paper. I want to use it because I've some at
home... and as said to obtain line art negative.

 

Kodak data sheet P-225 on Technical Pan film gives the
following for development in Kodak Dektol. Neutol or other
active print developers should be about the same:
Time: 3 minutes at 68F (20C) in a small tank with agitation
every 30 seconds. Dilution is not given so presumably this
is for full strength developer.
Exposure Index is 200
Contrast is given as a CI of 2.50 with center of curve gamma
value of 3.60
This is suitable for line work although not as high a
contrast as a lith film in lith developer would yield.

 

As written privately to Mr. Knoppow, I've found for Agfa Ortho 25 ISO
to develop it with Neutol NE 1+7 for 3 mins. Applying the general rule
(approximated) that says "dubling EI the develop time is 1.41 times
(sqrt(2))" I've thought for TP at 100 ISO to use Neutol NE 1+4 for 4
mins. Is this completely silly or not?
