Fotospeed DV10 Varigrade Paper Developer - 5L

After years of using liquid concentrates that never seemed to fully develop the highlights, this powder developer gives me crisp, clean prints in exactly 60 seconds with no fogging. One batch has already lasted through several sessions without any noticeable loss of activity.

The 60-second development time is spot on for RC paper—I timed it and my prints came out with crisp, even tones every time. Diluting the 5L works out perfectly for a weekend of tray processing, and the short induction means no more guessing when to pull the print.

I’ve been using this developer for my fiber-based prints and the 60-second development time is a game changer for my workflow. The short induction period means I can get consistent tones without any guesswork. Definitely my go-to for resin coated papers now.
