Grace ★★★★★

The warm tones it gives to Multigrade Warmtone paper are exactly what I was after, and the powder mixes up completely clear with no residue. A 5L batch has lasted me through dozens of prints with consistent results every session.

Olivia A. ★★★★★

Finally a developer that brings out those rich, warm browns I’ve been chasing in my prints; the powder dissolved completely without any residue in just a few minutes.

Julian W. ★★★★★

Mixed a batch last weekend and the powder dissolved without a single lump, which was a nice surprise. The warm tones on my neutral paper came out exactly as described, and the 5L jug lasted through a full session of prints without losing strength.
