PROCESSING
These starting-point recommendations are intended to
produce negatives with a contrast appropriate for printing
with a diffusion enlarger. To print negatives with a
condenser enlarger, you may need to adjust the contrast
by reducing your development time; see “Adjusting Film
Contrast.” Tank development times shorter than 5 minutes
may produce unsatisfactory uniformity.
MANUAL PROCESSING
Small-Tank Processing (8- or 16-ounce tank)—Rolls
With small single- or double-reel tanks, drop the loaded
film reel into the developer and attach the top to the tank.
Firmly tap the tank on the top of the work surface to
dislodge any air bubbles. Provide initial agitation of 5 to
7 inversion cycles in 5 seconds, i.e., extend your arm and
vigorously twist your wrist 180 degrees.
Then repeat this agitation procedure at 30-second
intervals for the rest of the development time.

* The recommended standard dilution is 1:4.
† We do not recommend using more dilute solutions of these developers than indicated in the table. Dilute developers require longer development times; they give slightly
higher film speed and a slight increase in graininess.
‡ Development times shorter than 5 minutes may produce unsatisfactory uniformity.
NR = Not Recommended
Note: The development times in the table are suggested starting points.
