Ilford Multigrade 5L

Tray developing feels effortless with this one—the concentrate mixes cleanly and I’ve had no streaks on my resin-coated prints, which is more than I can say for the last batch of chemicals I tried. It’s done in about three minutes at 1+9, and the blacks are rich without any fog.

The 5L jug lasts me through months of tray developing, and it mixes effortlessly with no residue left behind. Works flawlessly on both resin-coated and traditional fiber papers, which is exactly what I needed for my darkroom sessions.

I’ve been using this developer in a simple tray setup and the liquid concentrate makes mixing a breeze compared to powders. It brings out clean, crisp whites and rich blacks on my resin-coated papers without any fuss. Just what I needed for consistent prints.
