Ilford Ilfostop Stop Bath 500ml

Ilford Ilfostop is a low odour, citric acid stop bath. After development, we recommend that you rinse films and papers in an acid stop bath. This will stop development immediately. A stop bath will also neutralise the developer to help maintain the activity of the fixer bath.

A stop bath will literally stop the action of a developer, by neutralizing any of the chemicals still present. It will also help to maintain the activity of the fixer solution. While some people are happy not to use a stop bath. It will help make your fix last longer. It will reduce the carryover of excess developer into the fixer bath. By using a stop bath, your film developing chemicals will last longer. Helping you save money and reduce waste. You can reuse your diluted Ilford Ilfostop several times. Ilfostop is recommended for dish and tray processing of paper, and the developing of film.

Christopher S. ★★★★★

Switching to this stop bath was a solid move—the citric acid formula really does keep the odor down compared to the strong vinegar ones I've used before. It stops development quickly and consistently on my fiber prints without any fuss.

Richard P. ★★★★★

The smell is far less harsh than the acetic acid baths I've used before, which makes the whole developing process much more pleasant. It stops development quickly and cleanly for both my film and paper, and a 500ml bottle lasts for quite a few sessions.

Charlotte ★★★★★

The indicator color change is so obvious I can finally stop guessing if my film’s fully stopped—that alone saves me a lot of hassle. And the lack of that harsh vinegar smell means I don’t have to hold my breath while processing a batch of prints.
