The developer is made as a stock solution for normal tank or tray use, and it can be further diluted 1+1 or 1+3 for users who prefer longer development times, a higher degree of sharpness, and are willing to use ID-11 on a "one- shot" basis.

Q: 5. new to developing film. I have a question so if I am using this to develop one roll of tri-x film how much developer do I use with water? I am having trouble understanding the ratio when it says 1:9? And fixer?

A: I don't remember the water-to-developer ratio for Ilfosol, but using the 1:9 ratio you mention - 1:9 means 1 part developer to 9 parts water. So, when developing one roll of film, determine how much mixed developer you need - often you can find this info on the bottom of your developing tank - for example, my developing tank says I need 300ml to develop one roll of 35mm (135) film, so for this I would mix 30ml of developer with 270ml of water.As for fixer, the ratio of concentrate to water depends on which fixer you are using. I use Ilford Rapid Fixer, which is mixed at a 1:4 ratio (1 part concentrate to 4 parts water). So with the 300ml tank mentioned above, I would mix 60ml of fixer concentrate to 240ml of water.In my experience, with mixing ratios, the low number is the for the concentrate and the higher number is for water.Hope this helps and good luck.

A: Ilford Ilfosol-3 Film Developer for Black and White Film is a bit more contrasting than Ilford Ilfosol-3 Film Developer for Black and White Film. The developer works best with film such as Pan-F, FP4 Plus and Delta 100 Professional and is not recommended if you are using replenish technics.
