Having quality Chemicals is what it is all about when you decide you are going to control the whole process from beginning to end

Since I live in a very remote area in New Mexico, I keep an extensive supply of chemicals for mixing developers. If you live in an urban area where there is a Photo lab that does custom processing you would not need to MYO unless you want to see the results of your shoot the same day. When you leave home in the morning you never know how the day is going to pan out, what the sun is going to do, what the conditions will be when you snap the shutter, what mistakes you may make. Many times I have developed a roll of film just to save one shot that I screwed up because I made a mistake. Having quality Chemicals is what it is all about when you decide you are going to control the whole process from beginning to end.

High quality chemicals and affordable

By Tony W.

Purchased this for my ID-11 developer formula. Very high quality, my developer works perfectly!

Enhance your black and white photography development process with the Photographers' Formulary Hydroquinone, a professional-grade chemical essential for achieving the desired density and contrast in your prints. This high-quality hydroquinone is a key component in photographic developers, working synergistically with other developing agents to produce crisp, clear images that stand the test of time.

Crafted for reliability and effectiveness, this durable hydroquinone ensures consistent results in your darkroom. Its stable composition remains intact under ordinary conditions of use and storage, allowing you to focus on your craft without concern for the integrity of your developing solution. While the solution may naturally turn brown upon exposure to air due to oxidation, this does not detract from its performance.

For photographers seeking alternative developing methods, Vitamin C can serve as a substitute for hydroquinone. To adapt your process, begin by using 1.6 times the weight of hydroquinone and proportionally increase the alkali (such as borax or carbonate) by 1.6 times to balance the acidity introduced by Vitamin C.

Choose Photographers' Formulary Hydroquinone for its dedicated formulation tailored to the nuanced needs of photography enthusiasts and professionals alike. Trust in this effective and reliable product to elevate the quality of your black and white photographic prints.
