Hi old_squint, If you like, I can send you a couple of fixer test strips to use on your wash water. https://www.mn-net.com/semi-quantitative-test-strips-ag-fix-for-silver-in-fixing-baths-90741 I suspect the results on these will be zero. Just send your address to: [email protected]...

Hi Donald, Yes, HP5+ and FP4+ should be available in 2 1/4 by 3 1/4. Have a look at the Participating Dealers list, it definitely includes Freestyle and Pioneer's recommended Blue Moon amongst many others. Why not order both? 😈 Regards, David

Hi Richard, it was getting very expensive to order small quantities of the burgundy boxes so we went over to the same white boxes that are used for all our other papers. The contents are unchanged, just the box colour! Batch codes are now sequential, PFxxxx for Paper (Finishing) and FFxxxx for...

Hi Wallacjm, If you email the batch numbers to [email protected] then we can date them for you. If the film dev is Ilfosol S then it will be expired by now as we haven't made it since 2008. Please see: https://www.photomemorabilia.co.uk/Ilford/Chronology.html Regards, David

Hi "Bits", We think this paper is early 70's. I think the box may have more value than the paper! Good luck, David

Hi George, Our records show that a reply was sent to your supplied email on 14th Feb. so please check that email account. The gist of the response is that if the date on the box has been discarded we can't tell the age until the film has been processed. We can then trace the batch and find the...

Ilfoline was a high contrast sheet film, Here is some very old data from a 1970's document for Ilfoline PL4. Thanks to my colleague Sue, for finding this. -David

Just to let you know I have passed this on to our Marketing staff for them to consider. However, SFX is not as big a seller as our conventional films and sheet film sales are always the lowest of each type... If film lasted forever there would be no problem but the challenge is always to sell...

Hi Todd, The chemicals are still using the old system for now. Regards, David

Hi Mike, Yes, that's correct but obviously we would request that you only contact us about batches you have real concern about eg. private sale of unknown vintage for instance. Anyway, no need to do this for the next year or two with these new numbers! Regards, David

Hi Todd et al, Since we went over to our new ERP system in October last year all the the batch numbers are allocated by the system as a sequential number. So, PF536 is the 536th job raised on Paper Finishing. Same for FF = Film Finishing. We will give you a manufacturing date if you contact us...

Hi Ian & Charles, I've passed those request to Mel in our Marketing Department. Please don't add any more 2021 requests here as this will hijack the thread completely. You can send them to [email protected] but please realise that there is a constant struggle between supplying...
