Rollei MC Multicontrast Print Developer, 300ml Softpack

A darkroom worker has two major enemies - dust and oxygen. Although many would say it is dust that constitutes the biggest problem, with budgets under attack, we would consider oxygen and the waste created by out-of-date chemicals as the greater of the two evils.

It is therefore with great pleasure that we announce a brand-new concept in darkroom chemicals. Called 'softpack' this complete range of chemicals remains always fresh due to the flexible type of packing used. Drawing on inspiration from the food industry (and looking like a Capri-Sun drink pack) the carton's technology works by literally squeezing air out as the chemical is used, thereby offering the prospect of a never-ending active life from the liquid if the softpack is used correctly.

Just think of the benefits:
1) At last there's an end to dark brown developer that you left as a beautiful straw colour only two days previously.
2) No more having to cancel processing sessions because your darkroom chemicals are out of date.
3) Never throw away part used chemical bottles ever again.

This new technology has captured our imagination. We are 100% convinced that this is the biggest break-through in darkroom chemical production in the last 25 years so much that we will be selling a complete range of 'softpack' chemicals that will include film and print developers, stop-bath, fixers and toners.

An ideal low-cost option developer and replenisher for the processing of black and white papers. But in particular with multigrade-type papers, it offers very good storage and a neutral to warm black tone with multicontrast papers. Made to the original Agfa formula it dilutes 1+9 for normal contrast and development, at 20 degrees C, is complete when left in a tray for 2 minutes.
