The Freestyle sales has the MSDS doc. http://www.freestylephoto.biz/pdf/msds/ilford/b&w/2150XL_DEV.PDF The developer appears to be a fairly conventional one using Dimezone S and hydroquinone.

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.
