thanks Koraks! that's was very clear. I'll do that test

I don't know what do you mean by "clear the paper" in film is kind of obvious, but on paper? it's related to the blue color that the undeveloped paper has?

Hi, how can I test if the paper Blix is ok? I reuse it a lot and never really know if it's still working.

Hi. I did anther test at 1+3 for 8 minutes but it was the same has the 4:30 minutes, maybe the pH is not correct. I did read those post from David a few years ago, if I recall correctly I did add something to increase the pH but for my is just not worth it.

Hi. I have some old vision 2 film thats no longer good for using it as color film (too much base fog) I took some pictures and developed en L110 (HC110 Clone) for 8 minutes at 1+47. The negatives scan ok. but I would like to know if the orange base gives a color than can affect the contrasts...

For me is that if it is one shot it can be used in a rotary tank (you can't re use developer used in the rotary because it oxidices too much too quickly) Also, but I have no proof for this, I think that the developer will keep better if it is at "replenisher concetration", and last but no least...

yes 1+3 is very under development, I'll settle with the 1+1, for me is a good compromise to get more from my chemistry.

The idea here was to compare the developer for crossover or and other problems compared to the stock concentration and check if 1+1 could be used as a one shot because I always mess it when doing replenishment (did I replenish the last time I used this dev or not??? 🤨), Not to really see if C41...

3:15 for the stock 3:30 for the 1+1 4:30 for the 1+3 than came out very thin, I don't know if more time would fix it or it's pushing the dilution to far

Hi! This is a comparison of very expired and a bit fogged Vision2 (I won't use my good film for this kind of experiments) developed in C41 al various dilutions (stock, 1+1, 1+3). The developer is flexicolor lorr lu used as one shot without developer starter (just developer + water) To my eye the...

Hi. Someone as used the developer an blix in the the Fuji CP-49 Cartridge for RA-4 paper??, (this is a cartridge PN: 600004889 for the frontier minilabs) I would like to know the dilution and any experiences that you have with this. Thanks...

I had no idea about the metabisulfite, is the same amount as sodium sulfite? Like this

Hi, I did my second batch of homemade rodinal https://varezers.org/rodiynal/ in the first batch I keep the crystals on the bottle but I had to filter the diluted developer before using it because it has a lot of stuff floating, Can I just filter the whole batch after waiting 3 or 4 day and the...

thanks! that's a good idea!:D

Hi. I bought a 5 lt. flexicolor LORR LU kit, but I need the starter, that I didn't buy because the import taxes add up pretty quickly, So here are my questions: Could I use some used developer from an arista C41 as a starter to season de developer? Or, does someone know a formula to brew my own...
