sprint chemicals with different developer

[dangoldman]

<p>i was wondering if there would be any problem with using say, D76 or Rodinal developer with Sprint stop bath and fixer? my school uses Sprint developer which as yet i havent used, but i want to play around with developers anyway.</p>

<p>No problems whatsoever.</p>

<p>Nope I use all different developers with Kodak and Ilford Fixers and your stop bath is nothing more than diluted Vinegar with a PH indicator in it.</p>

[bethe_fisher]

<p>No prob. I use Sprint stop (love the scent). I usually use Ilford fixer, but Sprint is fine, too. </p>

<p>No problem at all. I've used Rodinal and DD-X with Sprint chemicals at my college darkroom all year, and it's been a joy.</p>

<p>No problem at all. I mix and match stuff all the time. While I'm particular about developers, decisions about which stop bath and fixer to use are based on a cost/performance analysis and nothing more. What Larry said about stop bath is the deal. It's nothing but very dilute acetic acid with a pH indicating dye. It works without the dye too, except that it's a little harder to tell when it's exhausted. Fixer is fixer. It's either sodium or ammonium thiosulfate. Both work equally well. The ammonium version is faster and has more capacity than the sodium version.</p>

<p>Also do not be shy about using Sprint "Standard" film developer. It is excellent. I actually prefer it with Ilford FP4+ over Xtol, Rodinal and Ilford Ilfotec DDX.</p>
