You can extend the development up to 6 minutes without any noticeable change in contrast or fog. For added economy and greater development control, the Multigrade developer can also be diluted at 1+14. When diluted, it remains in good condition in an open tray for two working days at dilution 1+9 and for one working day at dilution 1+14. Unopened bottles of this professional-grade developer have a shelf life of approximately 24 months. Even half-full bottles, when tightly capped, will keep for up to 6 months. One liter of working strength developer can process up to 50 8x10 inch fiber base prints and 100 resin-coated prints, making it a cost-effective choice for photographers.
