Ilford Simplicity Film Dealer Dev Row (12)

Ilford Simplicity Film Dealer Dev Row (12) | Measured developer portions for black-and-white film

Develop conventional black-and-white film at home and bring out fine grain and crisp detail with Ilford Simplicity Film Dealer Dev Row (12), a pack of 12 single-use developer sachets. Each portion is sized for a 600 ml developing tank at a 1:9 dilution: enough for two rolls of 35mm film or one roll of 120 film. The developer inside is Ilford Ilfosol 3, formulated for conventional black-and-white film emulsions. That makes each sachet useful for a two-roll 35mm session, or for processing a single medium-format roll when that’s what you’ve exposed. Its fine-grain rendering and sharpness are the reasons to choose this developer when you want detail to come through clearly in a traditional black-and-white negative. The individually portioned format is also a straightforward way for newer film processors to work with a known quantity, while experienced home darkroom users can keep a few sessions’ worth on hand. The amount is already measured; there’s no need to estimate a dose from a larger container.

Developer Details

• 12 single-use sachets: Each portion is intended for one developing session. It’s a handy format for keeping supplies portioned rather than measuring from a larger container.
• Ilfosol 3 developer: The sachets contain Ilford’s Ilfosol 3, a liquid-concentrate developer for conventional black-and-white film emulsions.
• Fine-grain rendering: Ilford specifies fine grain, which matters when you want a clean-looking negative with detail retained in the image.
• Sharpness: The developer is formulated to deliver optimum sharpness, a useful characteristic when defined edges and fine detail matter in a black-and-white image.
• Part of a standard processing sequence: This is the developing stage in film processing. Stop bath, fixer and rinsing are separate stages in the usual workflow.

Good to know

To prepare a working solution, empty the sachet into a measuring jug, add water to reach the stated 600 ml volume, and stir until mixed. Use water at the appropriate temperature. The developer is used alongside the normal stop, fix and rinse stages; those other processing liquids aren’t included in this developer-only pack.
