Chemistry for ILFORD ICP 42

[Aljaž]

Hello, I stumbled upon ILFORD ICP 42 (processor + wash-dry unit). The rollers work fine and the temperature is consistent. ( I filled the tanks with water and fed the machine some RC papers and rollers seem to be ok)

Default chemicals for this machine are no longer available (P-30, P-30P, P-22, P222, P-5)

I was wondering if anyone uses this machine and what chemicals do they use? I was thinking of processing paper with the Bellini RA4 kit or ADOX RA4 kit but both of these kits have Bleach&Fix in one solution, but the ICP 42 machine has 3 compartments - for "DE", "BL" & "FX". Do I just put dev in first tank, bleach-fix in second and stabiliser in third?nd

Anyone has any ideas or solutions?

If the time & temperature are appropriate for RA4, then yes, by all means use it with RA4 chemistry. I'd either use the second bath for a stop bath, so dev-stop-blix, or do dev-blix-wash. RA4 prints really should be washed instead of stabilized; stabilizer is for cheap minilab prints that are not supposed to last long.
