This developer renders a neutral tone but also reacts well to selenium on warmtone papers. In fact, this is my favorite all-round developer.

This is a excellent paper developer. It produces predictable, repeatable results. Mixes 1:9 with water. I've used their products for close to 30 years. Consistent quality, good price.

Find the perfect solution for your black and white print development needs with the Quicksilver Black & White Print Paper Developer. This high-capacity, economical developer is specifically designed to deliver neutral tones on your b&w prints, making it an ideal choice for professional photographers and hobbyists alike.
Unlike other developers, Quicksilver is free from metol, a common ingredient known to cause skin rashes, ensuring a safer and more comfortable user experience. Instead, it utilizes a unique developing agent, pyrazolidone-hydroquinone, which allows for precise control over print density, contrast, and color.
Quicksilver's distinctive feature is its ability to provide a consistent neutral color across all tones of your b&w prints. This consistency remains unaltered from highlight to shadow, setting it apart from Dimezone solutions, and remains constant regardless of development time, unlike metol-hydroquinone solutions.
For those using warm-tone papers, Quicksilver offers a more neutral color compared to other developers on the market. It develops all image tones at a constant rate, meaning that while the overall print density increases with development, the contrast - the relative difference between highlight and shadow density - remains unchanged.
Control over overall density can be achieved through exposure and/or development, while color and contrast are solely determined by the type of paper and grade or filtration used. With Quicksilver Black & White Print Paper Developer, you can achieve the perfect balance of density, contrast, and color in your black and white prints.
