Many thank to you, Mr. Knoppow!Your detail information is worth experience for me. I read some fomular onwww.photoformulary.com and want to compose by myself. Best regards, Xuan Truong
For those interested in formuae here is Ansco/Agfa 130. 130 was called a "universal" paper developer and was sold packaged in cans.
Ansco/Agfa 130 Stock Solution Water, at about 125F or 52C 750.0 mlMetol 2.2 grams Sodium sulfite, desiccated 50.0 grams Hydroquinone 11.0 grams Sodium carbonate, monohydrated 78.0 grams Potassium bromide 5.5 grams Glycin 11.0 grams Water to make 1.0 liter
Add ingredients in order given. Allow each to dissolve completely before adding the next.
For use dilute one part stock with one part water.Contrast can be varied over a narrow range by using the developer full strength or diluted 1:2
130 is reputed to produce more neutral tones (less green) on many warm tone papers.
For comparison here is Kodak D-72, this is the published formula for a developer similar to Dektol.
Kodak D-72 Universal paper developer, may also be used for lantern slides or press negatives.
Stock Solution Water, at about 125F or 52C 500.0 mlMetol 3.1 grams Sodium sulfite, desiccated 45.0 grams Hydroquinone 12.0 grams Sodum carbonate, anhydrous 67.5 grams Potassium bromide 1.9 grams Water to make 1.0 liter
Note: If sodium carbonate, monohydrated is used the amount is 79.0 grams. Add ingredients in the order given and allow each to dissolve fully before adding the next.
For use dilute 1 part stock to 2 parts water. Dilution can be varied from 1:1 to 1:4 depending on application.
The amount of bromide in both developers can be increased if desired to produce warmer tones.
Note: Defender/Dupont 53D is exactly identical to D-72Agfa/Ansco also published two other general purpose paper developers which are similar, Agfa 103 and Agfa 125
Agfa/Ansco 103 Paper Developer Stock Solution Water, at about 125F or 52C 750.0 mlMetol 3.5 grams Sodium sulfite, desiccated 45.0 grams Hydroquinone 11.5 grams Sodium carbonate, monohydrated 78.0 grams Potassium bromide 1.2 grams Water to make 1.0 liter
For use dilute stock solution 1 part stock to 2 parts water. Dilution can be increased to about 1:4 for slower development.
Agfa/Ansco 125 Paper Developer Stock Solution Water, at about 125F or 52C 750.0 ml Metol 3.0 grams Sodium sulfite, desiccated 44.0 grams Hydroquinone 12.0 grams Sodium carbonate, monohydrated 65.0 grams Potassium bromide 2.0 grams Water to make 1.0 liter For use dilute one part stock to 2 parts water.Every maker of photographic material had a formula essentially identical to D-72
If you have Glycin available here is an Agfa/Ansco formula for a warm tone developer.
Ansco/Agfa 115 Warm Tone Developer Stock Solution Water, at about 125F or 52C 750.0 ml Sodium sulfite, desiccated 90.0 grams Sodium carbonate, desiccated 150.0 grams Glycin 30.0 grams Hydroquinone 9.5 grams Potassium bromide 4.0 grams Water to make 1.0 literFor use dilute 1 part stock with 3 parts water. Dilution can be increased up to 1 part stock to 6 parts water for warmer tones but the blacks will be less dense.
Note that there was an old German Agfa formula numbered 115 for a quite different developer.
Glycin is an interesting developer but has become expensive and rather difficult to obtain.
