Prints in film dev

I know you can develop film in print developer for high-grain and contrast results. Is it possible to develop print in film developer, lets say D-76, and get different results?

 

Of course it is. The silver salts in paper are pretty much the same as in film - and the developers for both use the same chemicals. It will just take a lot longer to get an image.
I wouldn't bother if I were you.

 

Thanks Hertz, looks you've saved me some time

 

I didn't try it too, it's worth a try

 

Ok, I tried it by accident just because I'm clumsy It only took about 30 seconds more for 2oz of D-76 to 18oz of water. The results look fine

 

Results for prints, excluding time effects, will be the same. Not worth the bother, though. Dektol 2:1 is still the standard for prints at minimal cost.

PS: Hertz van Rental is probably the greatest invented name since Ford Prefect.
