Hi Everyone!
I'm looking to switch my fixer to the Rollei RXA acid fixer for films and RC papers (I use Rollei RXN for FB) and was wondering about what seems to be conflicting information given by Rollei regarding dilutions and capacity.
Would love to hear your experience!
On the front of the 1L bottle and on the Rollei website it says: capacity app. 10m2 (for the concentrate) or 40-80 films.
On the back of the bottle and on the date sheet three different dilutions are listed (1+4, 1+7, 1+9) for each - Film, RC & FB papers - along with varying capacities (from 2m2 to 5m2 per diluted liter). I'm attaching the labels.
1. The numbers don't quite add up for me... Let's take film as an example. The front of the bottle says 40-80 films.
However, on the back it says 20-40 films with dilution 1+4, which makes for 100-200 films for the 1L concentrate (5x200ml). A dilution of 1+9 says 10-15 films per diluted liter, which makes for 100-150 films per 1L concentrate (10x100ml). The same goes for paper (calculated capacities for the 1L concentrate according to the back of the bottle should result in 20-32m2). Am I missing something?
2. Is there any recommended dilution for films and for RC paper to your knowledge or from your experience?
Thanks in advance!
