   Hello,

I just bought a 5L jug of Ilford paper developer from Photoco here in
Montreal and it came out to $37.00CDN! Yikes! I used to never recycle paper
developer but I sure as hell am now!


I mix my own Ansco 130A for less than 10 CDN dollars and it lasts me for 6 months or so - you can replenish it with super cheap potassium carbonate if it becomes less active. Plus, it's a fabulous developer. Don't recycle Ilford single use developer, mix some multiple usage soup instead! We're lucky enough to have a real good photo raw chemicals supplier here on the South Shore, let's use it.

BTW, if you ever want to give it a try, there will be a comparative paper dev test in my photo club next week - Dektol vs Ilfosol vs Ansco 120 vs Ansco 130A. The Ansco 120 will be mixed on the spot. Write me to know the details of the location, etc.
