Product Description

Liquidol is the new paper developer From Bill Troop and Ron Mowrey. Liquidol is a revolutionary new print developer that features exceptionally long shelf life, tray life, and high capacity, along with the convenience of a 1:9 liquid concentrate. Fine printers will also appreciate that this developer has considerably more flexibility in over- and under-development than most print developers. This feature is limited when using the many papers which include incorporated developing agents. But when using papers which do not have incorporated developing agents, demanding printers will appreciate the extra dimension of flexibility and control this developer offers. Liquidol has been carefully designed to replicate the appearance of prints developed in industry-standard Dektol®, yet to provide enhanced shadow separation. Other advantages are full development within 60 seconds at 1:9 dilutions. We invite users to experiment with different times and dilutions. We think you really will be surprised by the flexibility and dependability Liquidol offers.

  1. Excellent general paper developer 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 9th Apr 2024

    Liquidol has been my "go to" developer for years. It yields deep, rich blacks and good tonal separation.

    One nice feature is that it comes in liquid form and so is easy to make up in a 1:9 dilution, meaning that you have fresh developer for every printing session.


  2. Very happy with this developer 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 21st Sep 2023

    I print intermittently, and I started using Liquidol because of shelf life--of both the stock and the working solution. It delivers on that. A bonus is how fast-acting it is. I'm using it with Ilford Warmtone. I'm sure there are warmer developers, but the prints look great with Liquidol, especially after light selinium toning. Great product.


  3. A good Dektol alternative 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 9th Mar 2022

    I bought this developer due to the claim of long shelf life and high dilution capability. After using it for a number of months both claims have been confirmed. It performs like Dektol in my darkroom but at the higher dilution of 1:9. It also seems happy to continue working after weeks in a partially empty bottle (i.e., air on top inside the bottle.) The convenience and longevity have made this my primary print developer.


  4. Excellent for the use 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 16th Aug 2021

    I'm using Liquidol currently for proofing only (older Oriental VCFB 8x10) and I am please with the results. It's exhibiting all of the characteristics of Dektol -rich blacks (cooler which I prefer) and a good "speed", accenting contrast (my negs are typically flat). Plus is the ease of on-demand printing, and I've always hated powder. I'll be running tests on 16x20 fiber prints with this... Expect good results as well.


  5. Seems to work well 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 16th Jun 2020

    Have used only once and with Foma varaint 311 glossy. Good blacks and good gradation. Was using with Ilford developer, which really degraded on aging.

    Want to see how it performs, on repeated use.


  6. Great developer for Ilford MultiGrade 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 23rd May 2020

    The blacks are a little cooler than Dektol for me but I really like the shelf life and the shorter development times. I also like supporting a small business who is dedicated to keeping our art alive.


  7. Great paper developer - similiar to Dektol indeed 4 Star Review

    Posted by on 1st May 2020

    Great paper developer. Results are close to what I get with Dektol 1+2

    Very convenient because of it's liquid form and easy dilution (1+9)


  8. Great developer - tested with Tri-x 16mm 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 12th Jul 2019

    Pretty excited about this. Tested it with 16mm film for an alternative to Dektol. Had to used UN-DILUTED to get comparable results at a short development time (like Dektol), but I think I may incorporate into my classes.


  9. Best Results I've had in Years! 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 9th Nov 2017

    I've used many devs over the years from Kodak, Ilford and Foma but I had yet to get the tonal range I desire. Until that is I read a review of this wonderful developer and tried it. It will be my goto developer from now on. I can't get over how beautiful my prints are looking. Plus I love the shelf/tray life of this juice. It actually saves me money over time - it never seems to lose it's efficacy. It makes printing so much more enjoyable and less of a "task". Thank you for this chemistry!!!!!!


  10. so far, so GREAT 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 14th Mar 2017

    i just started using liquidol recently but it's been impressive in my first few print sessions. blacks are rich and tonality is clean. i've used dektol and lauder in the past and liquidol compares very favorably.

    excellent shelf life, great tray life, quick dev, consistent results... it's hard to find anything wrong with liquidol so far.

    i've used it with ilford, fomapan and adox papers with zero complaints. bromides are up next.
