The rule is one filter per role, so this can get expensive when you need to drop 4 UV filters into a 4-roll tank. Dr. P also found that by dropping, say a No. 81 filter in with D-76, you can actually improve the development to D-78.5 standard, though one shudders at what could happen if you use a 25A filter!!
