This clean-working formula is recommended for use with commercial films in reproduction work when a comparatively low maximum denisty is desired. It is also suitable for development of roll, pack and sheet film providing a long scale of tonal gradation.
| Hot Water (125F or 52C) | 800 ml |
| Sodium Sulfite, anhydrous | 125 g |
| Potassium Carbonate | 250 g |
| Glycin | 30 g |
| Water to make | 1 L |
TANK DEVELOPMENT: Take one part stock solution, fifteen parts water and develop 20 to 25 minutes at 68 F (20 C). (Ed note – this looks like one of the few places American ounce measurements are superior – one ounce of developer and 15 ounces of water will fill a 120 stainless steel tank.)
TRAY DEVELOPMENT: Take one part stock solution, four parts water and develop 5 to 10 minutes at 68F (20C).
