A fellow just said he used 300mls of solution with each roll with his Jobo so you'd use 100 mls per 200 mls of water. I throw it away after using it and although I've read extended articles on how Xtol just might be the one developer in the whole world that might be successfully replenised we are talking pennies per roll in the first place and I would never go back to that sludge in million years. That would be the only thing that would make it in my opinion be overly complicated and problematical. Mark Rabiner
