I'm already on the RUG and the HUG I can just see the stuff flying if I get on the DUG assuming there is one. I picked up some "Neutol plus" in lieu of Dektol this week a liquid paper developer from Agfa. It has Isoascorbic acid sodium salt in it (sounds like Vitamin C to me) so I am thinking of it as Xtol for my prints. Far off? No mention of any Phenidone like substance though. There is a list on the back for apparently poison related issues Of active ingredients. But of course not in what amounts. So what I want to know is (as I know the Photographers Formulary has Ascorbic acid like stuff on their list) does anyone have a substitute equivalent formula for this Neutol plus?. An Ascorbic acid based paper developer? I hate buying these liquids and like to mix up my own stuff so I can put my own two cents in and save a buck. Mark Rabiner Has anybody used this stuff it's got a nice Orange and white bottle! 1:9 or 1:4? Now if they just came out with Rodinol for prints we'd really be in business.
