Easy to use, Reliable.
Great product that keeps well and works well too.
I love mixing liquid chemicals. This fix is great - I use it for paper mainly and sometimes for film (clears all B/W film types in less than 5 minutes) - as long as you keep your fix clean by draining prints in an intermediate wash tray this fix lasts a long time. The smell isn't bad, for a fixer.
Very good product. Does what it is supposed to do.
Love that I can reuse the solution here up to 16 times. I'm about 12 rolls of film in and it seems to hold up. I used Ilfotec DDX, Ilfotec 3 and llfostop with this fixer and it all just works well together.
It works as advertised.
You wouldn't think a couple of minutes is a long time to fix something, especially when you're used to fixing your film for ten minutes. But going from two minutes to 30 seconds for the same step makes a big difference. From when it goes into the developer to when I turn the lights back on and pull out the photo from the fixer is 2.5 minutes. It really does make a difference, especially when you're doing several test strips to figure out base exposure and then test prints on top of that to see what needs to be dodged and burned. One print can take a while to nail so any way I can save some time so I'm not in my darkroom all night is welcomed. Secondly, the odor is almost undetectable. Bonus! I was using Kodafix before, which has a very harsh smell. This isn't nearly as smelly. I don't mind that it's non-hardening. That's not a big deal for my prints. I care more about that for my film to make it more scratch resistant so I will continue using Kodafix for film. But This Rapid Fixer is my new darkroom fixer going forward.
Fixing prints with Ilford's Rapid fixer only takes 30 seconds!! That really speeds up dark room work.
