The Arista EDU Ultra 400 film is optimized for normal contrast negatives, with recommended developing times based on intermittent agitation. All developing times are standardized for 68 Degree F (20 Degree C), though your specific environment and equipment may necessitate adjustments. For optimal results, consider the following developer options:
- Arista 76 Powder: Use at stock dilution for 7-8 minutes or at 1:1 dilution for 12-13 minutes.
- Arista Premium Powder: Use at stock dilution for 7 1/2 minutes or at 1:1 dilution for 8 1/2 minutes.
- Arista Liquid Film Developer: Use as a working solution for 8 minutes.
- Arista Premium Liquid Developer: Dilute 1:9 for an 8-minute development time.
- Marathon Film Developer: Dilute 1:9 for 6 1/2 minutes.
- Ilford ID-11, Kodak D-76: Use at stock dilution for 7-8 minutes or at 1:1 dilution for 12-13 minutes.
- Kodak XTOL: Use straight for 7 minutes.
- Kodak TMAX Developer: Dilute 1:4 for 7-8 minutes.
- Kodak HC 110: Dilute 1:31 for 6 1/2 minutes.
- Agfa Rodinal: Dilute 1:25 for 5 1/2 minutes.
For best results, agitate continuously for the first 30 seconds of development, followed by 5 to 7 inversion cycles for 5 seconds every 30 seconds for the remainder of the development time. If using a rotary processor with continuous agitation, reduce the developing times by 15%. Adjust development times as needed to suit your processing system and achieve your desired contrast.
