Expired Fomatol P (paper developer)

Hello everybody,
i'm about to set up my darkroom for a print session. Unfortunately i discovered my last bunch of Fomatol P is expired at the end of last year.
Anyone has any experience about expired paper developer ? Shall i use it and get decent results ? Or i just give up ?
Grazie

Hi faustotesta,

It's probably still good, powder developers don't deteriorate in storage unless they're made up. If it's made up and has been stored in airtight bottles, it'll probably still be good too - I'm currently using ID-11 I made up in 2008. I'd say give it a try - what's to lose?

Cheers,

Here i am back from the dark. I used the expired Fomatol and got decent results. Thanks Kevs
