Formulas 247 Benzotriazole, 0.2 g Glycin, 11.0 g Water to make 1.0 liter The recommended standard dilution is 1:1. Use full strength for maximum contrast or diluted up to 1:3 for less contrast. Development times are between 3 and 6 minutes, with 5 minutes recommended as standard. High-Contrast Developers FORMULA #73 Agfa 108 Water at 125F/52C, 500.0 ml Metol, 5.0 g Sodium sulfi te, 40.0 g Hydroquinone, 6.0 g Sodium carbonate, monohydrate, 40.0 g Potassium bromide, 2.0 g Water to make 1.0 liter Use undiluted with a normal development time of 2 minutes. Longer development will increase the contrast even more. NOTE: Potassium bromide, in this formula, will cause a slight green cast with some papers. 20.0 ml of Edwal’s Liquid Orthazite can be substituted for the bromide. FORMULA #74 Edwal 120 SOLUTION A Water at 125F/52C, 500.0 ml Pyrocatechol, 20.0 g Sodium sulfi te, 40.0 g Water to make 1.0 liter SOLUTION B Water at 125F/52C, 750.0 ml *Potassium carbonate, anhydrous, 120.0 g �Potassium bromide, 1.0 to 3.0 g Water to make 1.0 liter *134.0 grams of sodium carbonate monohydrate can be substituted for a less warm tone. � Adding the minimum amount of potassium bromide will yield a print of neutral tone; adding more will create an increasingly colder tone. Mix 1 part of Solution A and 2 parts of Solution B with 1 part water.
248 THE DARKROOM COOKBOOK Low-Contrast Developers FORMULA #75 Agfa 105 Water at 125F/52C, 750.0 ml Metol, 3.0 g Sodium sulfi te, 15.0 g Potassium carbonate, 15.0 g Potassium bromide, 0.4 g Water to make 1.0 liter Use undiluted with a normal development time of 1½ minutes. FORMULA #76 Ansco 120 Soft-Working Paper Developer Water at 125F/52C, 750.0 ml Metol, 12.3 g Sodium sulfi te, 36.0 g Sodium carbonate, monohydrate, 36.0 g Potassium bromide, 1.8 g Water to make 1.0 liter Dilute 1:1. This is a good formula for use in two-tray development where the fi rst tray is a soft developer and the second is either normal or high-contrast. For this application dilute as much as 1:4. FORMULA #77 Defender 59-D Soft-Working Developer This developer is for prints from high-contrast negatives. Water at 125F/52C, 500.0 ml Metol, 3.0 g Sodium sulfi te, 36.0 g Sodium carbonate, monohydrate, 21.0 g Potassium bromide, 4.0 g Water to make 1.0 liter Dilute 1:3. Develop for 3 to 4 minutes at 68F/20C.
