Flexible Processing Options

The kit’s flexibility means you can choose between single-use (one-shot) processing or set up a replenishment system to extend its capacity. For one-shot, the 2.5L solution will develop up to 20 rolls. If you’re replenishing, you can split the chemistry into different ratios depending on how much film you plan to process. For example, 1000mL of working solution plus 1500mL of replenisher gives you a yield of around 40 rolls. Or go with 500mL of working solution and 2000mL of replenisher for a yield of around 50 rolls. With an extra kit used entirely as replenisher, you can process over 60 rolls.

Easy Replenishment System

Replenishing is simple but requires care to avoid contamination. After each processing session, top up your working solution using 40mL per roll of replenisher, then return your used chemistry to maintain volume. Store replenisher solutions in airtight bottles to reduce oxidation and keep your chemicals in top condition. Full guidance on best practices is included in the instruction manual.
