Ilford "Type 11 Professional Developer"...?

oldlugs · Mar 28, 2008

Hi folks. This is my first post here, and I've a question about Ilford "Type 11 Professional Developer"... What was this stuff? This is apparently NOT the same as Ilford ID-11... This has Methyl P-Aminophenol Sulfate in the Part A package... Pretty sure that stuff wasn't used in ID-11. I found this Type 11 in the back of an old camera shop, and the price was very right... It's probably quite old, but a powder mix to make "3-5 gallons". Anyone know what this is?

Thanks, Duane

Dunno about Ilford "Type 11 Professional Developer".

Ilford ID-11 was - and is - Ilford's version of Kodak D-76.

As such, ID-11 was and is - a Metol (Methyl P-Aminophenol Sulfate ) Hydroquinone Developer. Google for the current Ilford Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).

Thanks, Tom. Maybe this is just really old packaging of ID-11. Hopefully it's still OK...

Cheers, Duane

Try e-mailing Ilford. I have always found its customer services very good. They can probably give you the history of it. Then let us know. Thanks

That strange chemical is just metol, which is also in ID-11.
