Rollei Print Neutral eco is a premium quality paper developer for tray and machine processing without hydroquinone.
It is a high energy developer that gives premium quality when used in either trays or machine processing.
You get an unsurpassed Dmax with minimal haze, extremely high tonal range and a long working life with high usage. Standard dilution is 1+9 for 1 - 2 minutes. Although it renders a neutral tone, it is one of the best developers we sell for post-production toning.
Concentrates will last for 12-18 months in the bottle and for up to a week in an open dish.
This developer is often bought alongside the odourless options of stop and fix from Fotospeed whose HF3 is now discontinued.
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.
