Ilford processing chemical question

[Robert Hall]

Does anyone know what the difference between Hypam and Rapid fix is?

I see a difference in price, but not any real difference in description.

Did I miss something?

 

[Stan160]

The only difference I am aware of is that Rapid Fix instructions recommend never to use with a hardener, but there is a Hypam hardener available to add to Hypam fixer.

several years ago i talked with a tech from ilford, and was told they were basically the same and that they had dropped the name of rapid fixer and retained Hypam fixer when they moved the production back to the UK.

perhaps simon will correct this if not true.
