Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?MATT W : For washing fiber-based printsTRAVIS B : Will be traveling to a place where I need to be somewhat water conscious, and I’ll be making some fiber-based prints. This should significantly cut down on the water needed to rinse my prints.

I do my own B&W film development, and use only Ilford products

I do my own B&W film development, and use only Ilford products (= film & chemicals) - all purchased from Adorama only. I also purchased the subject Ilford WashAid liquid, and use it as a final step in the washing process; I have not used this product in wet print development as I do not do any wet printing. I would like to comment that I use some judgement to use this product as it is somewhat expensive to use for final washing - I use a total mixture of 500 mL (mix of pure WashAid + distilled water) for 120 film; less for 35 film, and it would deplete my supply if I used it for EVERY film that I develop. If my roll (35 or 120) has important shots that I'd like to scan & print, I will use this WashAid step in my process. Otherwise, I wash in plain distilled water (I do NOT use tap water for any step in my process). Hope this helps. If I purchase Ilford WashAid again, I will re-purchase from Adorama. They are super fast, efficient, and friendly, and support film photography (apart from digital).

Ilford Wash Aid is a hypo-eliminator formulated to aid the efficient removal of the thiosulphate by-products of fixation by ion exchange. It is particularly useful in speeding up the washing of fibre based papers and is designed to be used with the Ilford optimum permanence sequences. It can be used to aid the rapid washing of all Ilford films and fibre papers saving both time and water. It is particularly useful if a hardening fixer has been used.
