PROCESS ALL B&W FILM:

Df96 monobath easily processes any standard black and white film at its native ISO. It is designed with traditional cubic-grain emulsions in mind, like BwXX, TriX and HP5, with high silver content. It also works well with tabular grain films with color dye technology, like Tmax, but may come out of the bath with pink/purple dyes in the emulsion, and require double the processing time to clear. High speed films like P3200 and Delta3200 can be processed at their native ISOs between 1000-1600 by the instructions on the label, or pushed to 3200 by adding 10°F (6°C). All films can be pushed or pulled by adjusting temp. +/-10°F (6°C).

PROCESSING METHODS FOR DF96:

Development is increased more than fixing by temperature. Fixing and completion is accelerated by agitation, while decreasing development. Processing over 82°F (28°C) will result in pushed negatives with higher contrast and more pronounced grain. Below 68°F (20°C) renders pulled contrast negatives

*Temp tolerance is +/-2°F (1°C) and times are minimum. Feel free to extend processing time to ensure full fixing of film or removal of color dyes. Time does not affect development.

Native ISO development:

80°F (27°C) for at least 3 min • Constant agitation 75°F (24°C) for at least 4 min. • Intermittent agitation 70°F (21°C) for at least 6 min. • Minimal
