Ilford Multigrade Paper Developer 5L

Mixed up the 5L batch last night and it keeps its strength through a full printing session, which is exactly what I needed for a big run of fiber prints. The liquid concentrate means no powder dust in the darkroom, and the working solution stays active for days in a tray.

The liquid concentrate mix is so much easier than fumbling with powder packets—one batch and I had 5 liters ready in minutes. Prints come up crisp with good blacks on the first sheet, and it keeps cleanly on the shelf between sessions.

Three rolls processed so far and the liquid concentrate mixes perfectly every time, no sediment left in the bottle. Prints come out with rich blacks and clean highlights right from the first batch.
