mikeseb Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 <p>Why on earth would you want to do this?<br> <br /> Xtol is its own replenisher; you basically top it up to full volume in its storage bottle, from an unused supply that is reserved for that purpose. I'm not sure that it would be the same for mytol, given that they are similar, but not identical, in formula.<br /> <br /> Seriously, developer is so cheap that replenishment makes little sense for the low-volume home user. If you're not one of those, then you already know about replenishment. If you ARE a low-vol home user, use it once and discard, and sleep well at night knowing you're not going to ruin important negatives with exhausted or contaminated developer.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew_hoi Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share Posted April 16, 2009 <p>Yes, Xtol has its own replenisher but i think it is a little bit different with the original XTOL in the chemical(Most developer replenisher different with the original developer).</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank.schifano Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 <p>No. XTOL <strong>is</strong> its own replenisher. Everything you need to know about replenishing XTOL is in <a href="http://www.kodak.com/global/en/professional/support/techPubs/j109/j109.pdf">this document</a> . Nothing like information straight from the horse's mouth. If you read it, you should come to the logical conclusion that replenishment is best used in large tank, high turnover environments. There is not much written about replenishment for small tank (less than 2L) use. As for Mytol, that's anybody's guess. It's a home brew developer that's gotten a lot of press, but no tech support from a company with the resources to properly test and document it. It may be good, and probably is. My point though is that unless you want to do a lot of testing and experimenting, you have no where to go for dependable data.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
