Today I prepared the D. 96 developer myself, standard. Can it be used immediately or is it better to wait until the next days?

What is D96? I have never heard of it.

I frequently mix small quantities of D-96 and use it right away. I get good results with recommended times & temperatures.

The sole alkaline salt is borax (not including the significant amount of sulfite) which in some formulations is rumored to fluxuate in pH in the hours after mixing. Unless you're running a lab I wouldn't worry too much.

Better yet, compare the fresh developer to some aged stuff and let us know 😀

My question was related to what they also say about D.76 where they suggest using it the next day because it stabilized. But in my case I don't think it changed much. The reason is more dictated by the rush and curiosity see the results of the Cinestill used today. But I can do it tomorrow too.Thank you for your answer.
