I have had good sucses with adding benzotriazole to the developper. It
seems there is a developper that is supposed to give fog free prints on
outdated paper. It contains chlorohydroquinone, it's called Defender
58-D, :
Defender 58-D
Water 750ml
Sodium Sulfite 16.0grams
Chlor-hydroquinone 4.0grams
Sodium Carbonate 16.0Grams
Potassium Bromide 0.6grams
Water to make 1Liter
I have not tried it myself (yet)
Best,
Cor
