Since my local dealer ran out of Ilford liquid paper developer (I had
been using PQ Universal), I bought a bottle of Kodak's Polymax liquid
paper developer. I have been using it for some time now with good
results. But from the first batch that I diluted, I have noticed a
distinct, mildly unpleasant odor, somewhat reminiscent of old fish.
I never experienced that with the Ilford developer. Can anyone
explain where that come from?
(Richard's comment about the old dektol smelling like fish reminded
me that I have been meaning to ask this question. No telling how old
the bottle of Polymax I bought is. But the liquid is clear, and I do
mix it fresh for each printing session.)
