When manually searching on Google for acidic fixers the first thing that comes up is Ilford Rapid Fixer and Hypam. Digging further, Kodak Rapid fixer. Would I be correct to assume that these fixers are of the acidic type?
Thanks Anon Ymous.
Try TF-5.
TF 5 is a great fixer
I also was thinking of just ordering raw sodium thiosulfate
"Flic Allergen Free Fixer is an easy to use non-hardening fixer that is odorless and contains no ammonia or sulfur dioxide.
I noticed that Freestyle sells two bottles of just the Kodak rapid fixer without the hardener. Makes 40 liters.
40 liters for film or 100 liters for paper would be good as long as I could store the solutions correctly so that the solutions would last a decent time, yet at the same I really do not need as much right now. I would be happy with smaller amounts. I may just go with the Hypam for now.That is at film strength. It makes 100 litres at paper strength.
How much printing are you planning to do!!!???
I buy the 1 litre size, and use the separate bottles of hardener with some of the toning processes I like to do - they have a tendency to soften the emulsion.
It baffles me why Hypam is cheaper than Rapid Fixer sometimes. I always go for the cheaper one.
