Hi Daniel
I was making a distinction between tray life (mixed and diluted for use) and
shelf life (unmixed)

Hello,
I used Moersch Lith developer with great success. The dilution is mostly
1part of A + 1part of B + 1 part of "old brown" and 50 parts of water and
0.1part of 10% bromide and sulfite solution. Shelf life is at list 2hours
and OK for about 10 24X30 sheets.
