Ilford PQ Universal Paper Developer Reviews

replacement for expired dektol

This was a replacement for Dektol that turned coffee brown with water added. Customer service was clumsy with the issue. I complained. B @ H quickly sent me a liquid replacement. This rating is to say they stand behind their products. You can trust these folks.

This goes a long way.

Does it have a shelf life or go off? I've had a bottle for a couple of years and haven't needed to use it till now and wasn't sure if I still could
Asked by: Christina
If it's factory-sealed and kept at normal room temps, it's probably OK. The only way to be sure is mix a small batch (1+9) and see how/if it works. If you don't get a good print under normal conditions inside 2 minutes, it's history.
