Take your photographic development process to the next level with the ILFORD ILFOSTOP Stop Bath. This high-quality, 500ml bottle of stop bath solution is an essential component for any photographer dedicated to producing crisp, precise images. Formulated with a low-odour citric acid, ILFOSTOP is not only effective but also user-friendly, making your post-development experience more pleasant.

Efficiently halt the development of your films and papers by immersing them in ILFOSTOP's reliable solution. It is designed to immediately stop development and neutralize the developer, which is crucial for maintaining the optimal performance of your fixer bath. The inclusion of an indicator dye is a testament to the product's efficiency; it visibly shifts from a bright yellow to a deep purple, signaling when the stop bath has reached its capacity and ensuring you achieve consistent results every time.

This durable and reliable stop bath is particularly recommended for dish/tray processing of photographic paper or deep tank processing of film, where its properties shine the brightest. By reducing the carryover of excess developer into the fixer bath, ILFOSTOP not only helps to maintain the activity of your fixer solution but also prolongs its life, saving you time and resources in the long run.

While ILFOSTOP is a powerhouse for traditional processing methods, it is advised that it not be used for machine processing applications due to the potential for residual dye stains on films and prints with shorter fix and wash times. However, the longer wash times associated with dish/tray and tank processing minimize this risk, allowing you to use ILFOSTOP with confidence.

Remember to keep your developer free from contamination by the stop bath solution to ensure the highest quality development process. Choose ILFOSTOP for an efficient, reliable, and high-quality stop bath that delivers consistent results, making it the perfect choice for photographers who use Ilford films and seek precision in their photographic endeavors.
