Hi Craig, I am a happy user of DS-14 print devloper, the way I approach it is that I mixed it at working strength, filled a brown glass bottle to the top. After working with it (until now in trays, in the future I will use a Nova, so it can stay there) I pour it back (it foams a bit) and top of with fresh DS-14 R (the replenish version, without KBr). This bottle is still going stong since august, very handy if you do relative short and infrequent printing sessions, and again a THANK YOU to Ryuji for freely sharing his frmulea!
