Kentmere Monobath Film Developer is a high-quality, affordable, single step film developer that incorporates a fixer too. Using a monobath developer greatly simplifies the traditional three step Develop/Stop/Fix process.
Kentmere Monobath Film Developer is already pre-diluted and is therefore used 'as-is' and can be reused up to the maximum capacity of at least 16x 135-36exp rolls.
Although performance of the monobath developer can be adjusted somewhat by changing the temperature and the agitation method. Best results are obtained by choosing a film stock well suited to Monobath processing and a room temperature processing regime. We have deliberately narrowed the recommended films and processing methods to enable the simplest method and best results.
The Kentmere range of black & white liquid photographic chemicals is designed to support film processing. Ideal for students, beginners, or anyone seeking high-quality results on a budget.
Pour the required amount of monobath into your tank
Agitation. - Invert the tank four times during the first 10 seconds then invert twice for each subsequent minute of development
At the end of the processing sequence, tap the tank firmly on the work bench to dislodge any air bubbles
Drain off the monobath and return to the stock solution for re-use
Note: Do not over agitate - Over agitation will increase the fixing rate and reduce the apparent film speed.
