Developer D-76f variant

   
KODAK Developer D-76f variant
water (125°F)   750ml  
metol   2.0g  
hydroquinone   5.0g  
sodium sulfite (anhydrous)   100g  
sodium metaborate (Kodalk)   20.0g  
water to make   1 liter  
       

 

 

It is also said that using 20g/L of sodium metaborate (Kodalk) in place of borax would require half the developing time of the borax version, and thus 1/4 the developing time of original D-76 processing time. However, these approximate guide are quoted from old literature. If you desire to use these modifications, testing with your intended material is almost necessary for successful results.
