Aculux - recipe?

[Gerald C Koch]

Gerald - Googling for Maxim M Muir’s HIgh Acutance film developer doesn’t pull up a formula, at least for me. Any chance of providing it here?

Here you are, enjoy.

Maxim M Muir's Acutence Version of D-76

Stock Solution A

Distilled water (50°C) …………………………………………… 750 ml
Metol ………………………………………………………………………………………… 10.0 g
Sodium sulfite (anhy) ……………………………………………… 40.0 g
Sodium metabisulfite ………………………………………………… 10.0 g
Hydroquinone ……………………………………………………………………… 25.0 g
Distilled water to make ………………………………………… 1.0 l

Stock Solution B

Distilled water (50°C) …………………………………………… 750 ml
Sodium metaborate ………………………………………………………… 50.0 g
Distilled water to make ………………………………………… 1.0 l

Notes

Not all the hydroquinone may go into solution and therefore Stock Solution A should be shaken before making the working solution.

For use take 1 part of Solution A, 1 part of Solution B, and 8 parts of water. Development times should be the same as for D-76 diluted 1+1.
