Review Summary
Stop Bath
Black & White Film and Paper
Liquid
20 Liters
Where traditional stop baths can be harmful and damaging to prints, the Vanilla Scented Indicator Block Stop Bath for Black & White Films and Papers, 20 Liter, offers a safer, more efficient solution for photographers specializing in black and white imagery. Unlike conventional stop baths that use hazardous acids, this product employs buffered acids to minimize adverse effects, making it a more reliable choice for preserving the quality of your prints.
This high-quality stop bath is specifically designed to protect print fibers, reducing emulsion swelling, staining, and reticulation, while also eliminating unpleasant odors. It's an effective solution that prevents carbonate gas ruptures of films, also known as pinholes, when used as directed. This makes it an essential component of all SPRINT SYSTEMS processes.
The Block Stop Bath is not only durable but also versatile. It can be converted into a hardening stop bath for sepia toning or to replace hardening in the fixer if sulfur dioxide vapors need to be minimized. This product is designed to provide the correct acid value when used with Record Speed Fixer and Record Alum Hardening Converter.
One of the standout features of this product is its exhaustion indicator. The working solution changes color from yellow to lavender as it approaches exhaustion in black and white printing, signaling the simultaneous exhaustion of all three solutions when used with QUICK SILVER Print Developer and RECORD Speed Fixer.
With a shelf life of at least 2 years, whether stored as a concentrate or working solution, the Vanilla Scented Indicator Block Stop Bath for Black & White Films and Papers, 20 Liter, is a reliable and efficient choice for photographers. It's capable of making 200 liters of working solution, enough to process up to 12,000 8x10 fiber prints or 18,000 8x10 resin-coated prints, making it a cost-effective solution for both professional and amateur photographers.
