Product Description

With the new Ars-Imago MB mono bath film developer, you can develop and fix at the same time with only one bath!

This highly concentrated all-in-one developer, for black and white films, produces negatives that have medium-high contrast with a real and evenly-balanced tone scale.

Just mix Part A and Part B to get 500ml of working solution in a jug. Pour the solution into the developing tank and 8 minutes is all it takes at 20 degrees C for most black and white film to be developed (and fixed). No stop bath required.

You can re-use the working solution several times in a couple of weeks or the stock solution can be diluted 1:1 and used as one shot developer.

You can achieve the best results with conventional cubic-grain films like Ilford's HP5 and FP4, Kodak Tri-X or Kentmere. It is not recommended to use MOnobath with T-Grain films like Ilford Delta or Kodak T-Max.

This fast, easy and efficient solution to developing your black and white films, with only one chemical bath, makes it's an ideal companion to the new Lab-Box from Ars-Imago too.

"Excellent developing monobath easy to use and quick"

By GaryParker on 14th August 2020

"This Ars-Imago monobath is great. I can't believe how well it works. The photos come out looking really good - even better than with some conventional developers, because the contrast is a fraction higher with this monobath. It's not fussy, you don't have to be too particular about the temperature, it just works. It might seem a bit expensive, but it isn't really, because it lasts and lasts, so you can put a lot of films through it. Fab!"

By Paul R Matheson on 8th February 2018

"This product is excellent. From my first use, I knew it was going to be good. I have, to date, used it on, Fomapan 100, Rollei Retro 80, Rollei RPX 25 and ORWO NP15. In every case the results are excellent. Good contrast, good sharpness. I have just filtered after 4 uses and it's first us was 3 weeks ago. Excellent product. Thank you FirstCall."
