Ektonol, Ektaflo substitute.

I am looking for a warmer, high contrast developer.
Any idea?
Ektonol formula?

Thanks in advance.

IIRC Richard Knoppow told on pure silver that it was quite similar to Selectol soft and pointed to the differences.
Look in the list archive.

Ilford ID-78, good contrast as well as excellent warm tone, very similar to Agfa Neutol WA.

ID-78 Ilford Warm Tone Developer

Phenidone 0.5 g
Sodium Sulphite (anh) 50 g
Hydroquinone 12 g
Sodium Carbonate (anh) 62 g
Potassium Bromide 4.5 g
Water to 1 litre

To use: Dilute 1+ 3 for warmest tones. Can be used at 1+1 for higher contrast.

This formula is invariably published incorrectly in US sources and many websites with only 0.4g Potassium Bromide. It's the warm tone version of Ilford ID62

Fomabrom 111 & ID-78


Ektonol was similar to DK-93 except used Metol in place of Kodelon - p-Aminophenol oxalate(or hydrochloride), and used Sodium Metaborate/Kodalk as the alkali, formed by mixing Borax & NaOH..

Yeah, don't forget the Bromide!

I want to thank your answers, i forgot to do it before.
