Is it safe to purchase Dektol again? Or is there still something wrong with it?
Asked by: Scott
I purchased Dektol recently, it's still the dark colored one. I've been having problems with it exhausting extremely quick. It will work fine for a couple of hours, but after that the tones on the paper become muddy and brown. The contrast is significantly reduced.

Does 'Dektol - 2019 Version' mean that it's the contaminated stuff?
Asked by: Scott
In my experience yes. Dektol with manufacturers date of 2020/04/01. Expiration date of 2023-04 was dark brown and stained prints. Dektol purchased recently, expiration date 2024/11 was the correct color and acted normal in all respects. Dektol is back.
