Dektol 2019 Version?

[images39]

I see on the B&H website that they list Dektol (discontinued) and Dektol "2019 Version." There isn't an explanation of the difference. Does anyone know what the difference is between the two?

Thanks,
Dale

probably a SKU change precipitated by switching which manufacturer makes it. Tetenal made a bunch of stuff for a bunch of manufacturer, and their financial troubles has caused that sort of thing.

all that being said, I’d expect it to behave the same, or close enough that in practice it’d be the same.

The sub-contracting manufacturer for chemicals for Kodak Alaris has changed, and with it, the catalog numbers on many of the products. The products from the new manufacturer should be similar in performance, if not exactly the same in compounding. The retailers "discontinue" the old catalog number and then relist the new catalog number as the new version. No worries.

Many of the new catalogue numbers seem to also have lower minimum purchase terms attached to them - which may relate to shipping and packaging changes.

Thanks for the replies. Sounds like nothing to be concerned about. Dektol has become my favorite paper developer overall, so naturally I'm interested in any changes to it.
