Replenish, how to do?

[markbarendt]

And sometimes results are better than with straight or diluted developers.

And sometimes not, "better" is pretty subjective term.

I would say that replenished systems definitely impart somewhat "different" characteristics and that they are well worth exploring.

I very much enjoyed learning and working with my replenished Xtol and got negatives that were really nice and it was really economical.

I now very much enjoy my DD-X and the convenience it provides and I get negatives that are every bit as nice IMO.

Sure, DD-X costs me a bit extra compared to replenished Xtol, but a $10 or $20 difference in real cost over 6 months is nearly insignificant when amortized over that same time.

does anyone know know how to replenish autophen? I saw on http://www.lostlabours.co.uk/photography/formulae/developers/devPQ-ID11.htm how to make the solutions - but how to use them I can't seem to find/

I know I'm late here but hoping you guys can still help!

A quick Google search suggests a replenishment rate of 9ml/roll if you use regular replenishment. There's also a 'topping up' formula that apparently is aimed at only adding the volume that disappears due to carry-over/soaked into the emulsion. See formulae here: http://www.lostlabours.co.uk/photography/formulae/developers/devPQ-ID11.htm

Nope; Google has a habit of tailoring search results to the situation. So you see something different from what I see, and this even changes all the time, to boot. The idea is that you use Google to locate relevant sources and then start reading.

For Autophen, there's some text here: https://archive.org/stream/in.ernet.dli.2015.283040/2015.283040.The-British_djvu.txt
This gives a data point of 50,000 films developed while 120 gallons of replenishment (of the original 60 gallon volume) took place. This boils down to 9ml/film.

also I'd also love to know the replenishment for id-68

I think it's the same rate.

Ilford Microphen/ID-68, origins and replenishment?

Hello all, Frequent lurker, very rarely post. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knows when the Ilford ID-68 formula was first published, and if Ilford recommended top up or bleed replenishment for it? Given that it is a PQ developer, I'm guessing at top up. I've recently started using it as my...
