Ilford

ILFORD Microphen is a fine grain developer recommended for obtaining the maximum film speed with films that can be push-processed. It is optimized for use at the faster end of the exposure range. Grain size is reduced and grain clumping is prevented because of the low alkalinity of the developer.The majority of developers that give an increase in film speed usually produce a corresponding increase in grain size. Microphen, however, has been specially formulated to overcome this disadvantage and therefore has a high speed-to-grain ratio. That is, there is a speed increase while giving the type of grain associated with a standard developer. A speed increase can be achieved with many films and meter settings up to EI 3200/36 can be used with ILFORD HP5 Plus film.Microphen is supplied as a powder and shows exceptional consistency in performance throughout its working life. It is made up of a stock solution for normal tank and tray use and can be further diluted 1+1 or 1+3 for users who prefer to use fresh solution each time.None Development time in tanks (68 F/20 C) for Ilford Delta 100 35mm film: Stock solution = 7 min. Diluted 1+1 = 10 min. Diluted 1+3 = 15.5 min.None For Ilford Delta 400 35mm film (at 400 exposure): Stock solution = 7 min. Diluted 1+1 = 10.5 min. Diluted 1+3 = 18 min.None One liter of working strength stock solution (not diluted) will process 10 rolls of 35mm/120 film. Diluted 1+1 it will process up to 5 rolls of 35/120 film.None Storage time for Unopened full bottle ID-11 Stock solution is 6 months . For half full bottles of stock solution storage time is 1 month. If stock is diluted it can only be used as a "one-shot" developer and should not be stored.
