First of all, I'm sorry. I know there are a bunch of topics about this, but I just wanna be sure that I got it right.
I wanna try color printing, and I've been a little confused as to how RA-4 chemistry is used.
I bought an Adox kit, and the datasheet says that a 2.5-liter working solution can develop 115 18 x 24 cm papers. So if I mix 500 ml, I can use it for 23 papers, right?
My biggest concern is, when I pour in the developer, do I pour what I need to cover the print and then put it back in the bottle with the unused working solution, or do I have to discard it?
I'm asking this because I saw videos of people printing RA-4, and they would measure a small quantity of chemistry (like 60 ml, because they are using a drum), and then they would throw it away.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
