Questions & Answers

Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?ADAM K : Recommended for black and white film development since it eliminates the need for a chemical stop bath (a stop bath is still required but with water instead of another chemical), as well as supposedly being much more forgiving for "over fixing" as it doesn't bleach away the exposure the way other fixers will if let go for too long.VERNON T : I like the fact that you don't need acid stop bath between developer and fixer; when self developing of course. Plus it's an easy to mix liquid and lasts.JAMES R : It works well.Ian W : The best fixer an analog photographer can useLEE S : It is a very good fixer, good price, 1 liter fixes many rolls of film, works well with HC-110 and Rodinal. Neutral pH so no need for acid stop bath.DAVID B : Well-respected product, good price.

Because the TF-5 1Lt Archival Rapid Fixer is a superior solution for both paper and film processing, it's an essential tool for photographers and film developers. This high-performing fixer offers a rapid processing time of just 30 seconds for resin-coated prints and 60 seconds for fiber-based prints, eliminating the need for a hypo clearing agent and streamlining your workflow.

When mixed with distilled water, the TF-5 1Lt Archival Rapid Fixer produces minimal to no odor, making your developing process more comfortable and pleasant. This product also eliminates the need for a stop bath, as a simple water rinse after developing is sufficient, further simplifying your post-processing routine.

The non-hardening nature of the TF-5 1Lt Archival Rapid Fixer makes it an excellent choice for prints that require toning or retouching. Unlike other fixers like TF4, this solution is a near-neutral fix that alters the pH of the film or paper from alkaline to near neutral. This unique feature ensures the longevity and quality of your prints and films.

In summary, the TF-5 1Lt Archival Rapid Fixer, which makes a 1-gallon solution, is a versatile, user-friendly, and efficient choice for all your film and paper processing needs.
