<p>Thanks for the response Bill, we're in Portugal and the school sometimes messes up the orders, that's why the starter is missing. I experimented with the diluted replenisher (in manual processing) and saw the differences, that's why I am so hesistant, but if you say with use it "normalizes" I might just go ahead and start processing. <br>
I've read that using the replenisher without the starter also "comsumes/exhausts" the developer more quickly than desirable. Can you confirm it?</p>
