I am making a list of all these recommended developers. Thanks so much. Going
to shop online.

I just saw your message about LPD. I've never heard of that. Where do you
find it? I like the sound of it. Well, I will call around.

Ilford's product is Bromophen, which uses phenidone instead of metol.

I bought it from Unique Photo, and called them this morning. Got a call
back this afternoon and was told it's perfectly fine (though not with me).
He said it performs normally but honestly, it's thick and very dark
chocolatey. Seems I saw here recently that Ilford has a developer that's
like Dektol. I think I'll search that.
They may say it's the dark Dektol is just the same but I like to be able
to see what's coming up on the print. I'm sending back the rest of the
order.

Richard. This brown Dektol was first mentioned over a year ago. Nation
wide printers saw it. It’s not a local phenomena. I switched to LPD long
ago but needed some paper developer this fall. I got new dektol. Brown.
Not smelly. I’ve been doing this long enough to know (50 years) and it
didn’t seem to have that odor

Dektol should be white. The brown is from oxididation due to a leak
in the container. It may also have a fishy odor. I have encountered bad
Dektol in very old bag containers. Have it replaced. Developers should
never be more than very slight tan in color.

I just received an order of chemicals, opened a bag of deck tile to mix
for printing this morning and it is dark brown. I've never seen it look
like this, chocolatey. Surely there's not been a change and it's
supposed to look like this. What in the world? Disappointing when I'm
ready to go.Have any of you found it bad right out of the package?
Packaging says expiration date is 2023.
