Before you settle for any ordinary fixer, consider the TF-5 1Gal Archival Rapid Fixer. This professional-grade product is designed to deliver exceptional results for both paper and film mediums. With a processing time of just 30 seconds for resin-coated prints and 60 seconds for fiber-based prints, it's a reliable solution for photographers seeking efficiency without compromising on quality.

Unlike many other fixers, the TF-5 requires no hypo clearing agent, making it a more straightforward and user-friendly choice. When mixed with distilled water, it produces little to no odor, enhancing your comfort during use.

One of the standout features of this high-quality fixer is that it eliminates the need for a stop bath. Simply use a water rinse after developing, saving you time and resources. It's a non-hardening solution, making it an excellent choice for prints that need to be toned or retouched.

The TF-5 Archival Rapid Fixer is a near-neutral fix that effectively changes the pH of the film or paper from alkaline to near neutral. This is a significant advantage over products like TF4, where the film or paper remains at an alkaline pH value.

Choose the TF-5 1Gal Archival Rapid Fixer for a durable, effective, and reliable solution in your photography process. This product not only meets but exceeds the expectations of professional photographers, making it an essential addition to your photography toolkit.
