Ilford Multigrade Developer 500ml

For the amount of prints I get from a 500ml concentrate, the price is hard to beat—diluting it 1+9 means this bottle stretches across a whole weekend session. It keeps well in a dark bottle, so I can pour out smaller batches without worrying about the rest going bad.

Mixed 500ml at once and kept in a dark bottle, this concentrate lasts me months of regular printing. The tones come out neutral and clean on glossy paper without any weird staining.

Liquid concentrate means I can mix exactly the amount I need, so there’s less waste on light printing days. Dilutes easily and keeps my prints consistent, though the 500ml bottle ran out a bit faster than I’d have liked.
