Here are some more recipes. Ilford this time. Mix chems in the order given and exercise caution when mixing chemistry. And have fun.


ILFORD FILM DEVELOPER ID-2

This is a rapid developer intended for tray processing of sheets and plates. It can be further diluted for use with tank processing as well.

STOCK SOLUTION

WATER(52C OR 125F)------------------750.0 cc
METOL--------------------------------2.0 g
SODIUM SULFITE,DESSICATED----------75.0 g
HYDROQUINIONE-----------------------8.0 g
SODIUM CARBONATE,MONOHYDRATED---43.0 g
POTASSIUM BROMIDE------------------2.0 g
ADD COLD WATER TO MAKE------------1.0 litre

For tray processing, dilute the stock solution 1:2 with water. Develop from 3'00" to 6'00" at 20C.
For tank processing, dilute the stock solution 1:5 with water. Develop from 6'00" to 12'00" at 20C.


ILFORD FILM DEVELOPER ID-67

A phenidone version of the metol ID-2 developer, suitable for sheets and plates.

STOCK SOLUTION

WATER(52C OR 125F)--------------750.0 cc
SODIUM SULFITE,ANHYDROUS------75.0 g
HYDROQUINONE--------------------8.0 g
SODIUM CARBONATE,DESSICATED--37.5 g
PHENIDONE------------------------0.25 g
POTASSIUM BROMIDE--------------2.0 g
BENZOTRIAZOLE-------------------0.15 g
ADD COLD WATER TO MAKE--------1.0 litre

For tray development, dilute 1:2 with water and develop from 2'30" to 5'00" at 20C.
For tank development, dilute 1:5 with water and develop from 5'00" to 10'00" at 20C.


ILFORD FILM DEVELOPER ID-68

This is a replenishible, low-contrast, fine-grain developer that is very similar to Kodak's D-76 in all respects excepting the use of phenidone instead of metol.

WATER(52C OR 125F)----------750.0 cc
SODIUM SULFITE,DESSICATED--85.0 g
HYDROQUINONE----------------5.0 g
BORAX-------------------------7.0 g
BORIC ACID--------------------2.0 g
POTASSIUM BROMIDE-----------1.0 g
PHENIDONE---------------------0.13 g
ADD COLD WATER TO MAKE-----1.0 litre

DO NOT DILUTE.
Develop films from 8'00" to 10'00" at 20C.
Develop plates from 4'00" to 7'00" at 20C.


ILFORD ID-68 REPLENISHER

WATER(52C OR 125F)----------750.0 cc
SODIUM SULFITE,DESSICATED--85.0 g
HYDROQUINONE----------------8.0 g
BORAX-------------------------7.0 g
PHENIDONE--------------------0.22 g
ADD COLD WATER TO MAKE-----1.0 litre

Add the replenisher as needed to maintain the level of the developer. You can replenish an amount equal to the original amount of developer before discarding the solution.
