When it comes to the precision and longevity of black and white photography, the NH-5 Non-Hardening Fixer stands out as a high-quality, professional-grade solution. This effective fixer is specially formulated for both film and paper, ensuring that your monochromatic images are stabilized and preserved against fading or discoloration. With its non-hardening properties, the NH-5 Fixer offers photographers the efficiency of extended use without compromising on effectiveness.

The NH-5 Fixer is available in two variants to cater to different processing preferences. For those who prefer to have control over the hardening process, the NH-5 with hardener is an ideal choice. This two-component system includes Part A, which contains the fixing agent and additional components, and Part B, the hardening agent, allowing for a tailored approach to the fixing process.

Alternatively, NH-5 without hardener presents the most economical option, eliminating the need for a hardening agent while still delivering durable and consistent results. This versatility makes NH-5 a preferred choice for photographers who value both quality and cost-effectiveness.

With a single gallon of NH-5 at film dilution, you can process an average of 100 - 8 x 10 films or plates, or approximately 100 - 120 rolls of film. When used at print dilution, the same quantity can process approximately 100 - 8 x 10 prints. This efficient fixer is not only effective but also ensures a high volume of processing, making it a smart investment for both amateur and professional photographers.

This offer includes a case of four 1-gallon bottles, which when mixed, yield a total of 16 gallons of fixer, providing an ample supply for extensive photographic work. The NH-5 Non-Hardening Fixer is a testament to the enduring quality of traditional black and white photography, offering an efficient and reliable solution for image processing.
