Ilford Universal vs Multigrade
I've been using Ilford Multigrade paper developer for quite a while. Given
the apparent scarcity of Ilford products, our local store still has Universal developer in stock but not Multi. Can anyone help me with the true difference between these products? As far as I can see, there is the option for a higher dilution with the Universal (14:1). What else do I need to know?? Should there be any appreciable difference in the print tonal qualities? If they are pretty similar, is it possible to make a more dilute solution of the Universal developer and have decent results (like for contact sheets)? Thanks, Sam |

I have not been able to detect any difference between them.
One may be faster-acting than the other, but I always develop prints to completion anyhow. "Sam G" wrote in message . com... I've been using Ilford Multigrade paper developer for quite a while.
