TF-5 Archival Fix
Product Description
TF-5 is an extraordinary fixer for both paper and film.
* Processing time of only 30 seconds for resin-coated prints, 60 seconds for fiber-based prints, with no hypo clearing agent necessary.
* No stop bath necessary. Just use water rinse after developing.
* Non-hardening. Excellent for use with prints to be toned or re-touched.
* It is a near neutral fix that changes the pH of the film or paper from alkaline to near neutral, unlike TF4 in which the film or paper stays at an alkaline pH value.
* The only rapid-fixer system that allows the print to be completely fixed without impairing the rapidity of the wash.
* No image bleaching. All conventional fixers act as reducers. This means that the longer the material is left in the fixer, the more image silver is destroyed. This can only have bad effects on the image, whether it is a print or a negative. Conventional sodium thiosulfate (rapid) fixers suffer from this defect especially. The problem is eliminated in TF-5, which may offer slightly richer maximum blacks as a result.

Remarkably Good - Easy To Use With World-Class Performance!
Posted by Mark Booth - Seattle, WA on 30th May 2017
I have used Photo Formulary's TF-5 fixer since it's inception. As in my title, this archival alkaline fixer is easy to use, quick working, washes clean with no residual constituents. I have used this fixer in nearly every type of film and traditional printing technique with great success. My pyro negs and amidol printing always fix perfectly and post process nicely with split-toning in TF-5. TF-5 fixer is utterly reliable!

Highly recommend!

I have used TF4 for many years and decided to give the new TF5 a try. Very pleased. As with the TF4, when mixed with distilled water, there is very little odor.

TF-5 Great successor to TF-4
Posted by Unknown on 28th Apr 2015
Great quick fixer for films and papers, with added benefit of no ammonia fumes, the one drawback of TF-4.
