Category: Print & Print Processing Print Processing Chemicals

Part of our Eco Range of developing chemicals, that we specially created for safer use in schools and colleges, this darkroom paper developer comes without harmful Hydroquinone and instead is based on Ascorbic Acid and Dimezone. You'll find improved handling and disposing after use when working with this chemical.

It's suitable for developing all black and white paper and produces a neutral tone, very quickly with intense blacks and absence of fogging.

The concentrate dilutes 1 + 9 with water and development is complete in 2 minutes.

Please note that Eco developers may be delivered as red/orange or yellow in colour.
 
The reason for this depends on two factors:
 
 1) Exposition to the light of products with ascorbic acid/dimezone is yellow at first when it is just mixed and bottled. Afterwards, it can become orange/red, but it does not affect the efficiency of the product (you might also find this on Neutol chemicals, for example, or with Bellini Eco film and Xtol Kodak once dissolved)
 
 2) Dimezone S presence of coloured molecules inside the product can sometimes appear in powder from white to deep orange. Alternatively, it can change the deep orange one to become like a red wine colour once dissolved.

This colour change doesn't affect the developer's efficiency or performance.

Nicholas S. ★★★★★

Being hydroquinone-free was the deciding factor for my classroom, and it delivers crisp, rich blacks on every print. A full liter has lasted me through dozens of sessions, and the kids get consistent results without any harsh chemical smell.

Grace P. ★★★★★

I’ve been using this paper developer in my home darkroom and really appreciate that it’s hydroquinone-free—much less harsh smell to deal with. The prints come out with a nice, clean tonal range, and one liter lasts through plenty of sessions.

Sebastian ★★★★★

My high school darkroom students can finally develop prints without me worrying about ventilation issues constantly. The 1L bottle lasted through two full classes of tray processing, and the tones came out rich and consistent every single time.
