[pure-silver] Re: Ilford 2150XL Developer and Fixer

The Freestyle sales has the MSDS doc.

The developer appears to be a fairly conventional one using Dimezone S and 
hydroquinone.

Subject: [pure-silver] Ilford 2150XL Developer and Fixer


Greetings all ye brethren,

not only did Gianni (Rondinin) get a new toy 
recently, I did too: I got myself a HUGE Ilford 
2150 development machine for RC prints. The thing 
is a tank and according to the manual it takes 14 
LITERS (nearly 4 gallons) of developer and the 
same amount of fixer and water rinse. So when 
full the whole &§$! thing weighs about 140 kilos (nearly 300 lbs.).

The guys from the BMW Photoclub who sold it to me 
also gave me a batch of Ilford 1250XL developer and fixer concentrate.

But I wold bneed to know where I can get more - 
apparently the machine heats the chemistry to 
about 35 degrees centigrade (nealry 100 
Fahrenheit) and hence there is a special 
developer for it. I guess normal developer 
recipes just go bad too quickly at that temperature.

Does anyone know more about these developers? I 
cannot seem to find anything about them on the 
"new" Ilford Web Site and I have the feeling the 
new Ilford might not make the stuff anymore.

So if anyone can point me to the make up of these 
chemicals or can tell me a good substitute (for 
AGFA RC papers, fixed grade and multi-contrast) I 
would bve very grateful indeed.

Love
Snoopy
