Step #2: Set aside three measuring cups, one each for the developer (Ifosol), the fixer and the stopper (water).
Step #3: Mix the developer (Ifosol) with water at 1 part Ifosol to 9 parts water (30mL Ifosol + 270mL water). Pour the solution into its own measuring cup.
Step #4: Mix the fixer with water at 1 part fixer 4 parts water (80mL fixer + 320mL water). Pour the solution into its own measuring cup.
Step #5: Pour 500mL of water into its own measuring cup.
Step #6: In the darkroom, roll the undeveloped film into the Hewes reel and place it in the black film developing container. Make sure it is closed tightly with the film inside before leaving the darkroom.
Step #7: Depending on the film type, this length of time this step takes will differ. Click here and look up how long the developer will need to react with the film based on your film type. For the purposes of this article, let's say we use Kodak 400TX film which has a development time of 7 minutes and 30 seconds.
Step #8: Pour the developer solution into the black container and gently shake the container side to side and in a circular motion. For the next 7 minutes and 30 seconds repeat the following: every 30 seconds pick up the container and rotate it 180 degrees until it is upside down and place it firmly down on the table to loosen up any bubbles that may have formed on the film, every 1 minute do the same motion twice.
Step #9: After the 7 minutes and 30 seconds are up, empty the developer.
Step #10: Fill the developing container with stopper (water). Shake, then empty it out.
Step #11: Fill the developing container with fixer solution and flip the container 180 degrees repeatedly for 30 seconds. Wait 15 seconds, flip again for 15 seconds, then wait another 15 seconds. Continue in 15 second intervals flips and waiting for 3 minutes.
Step #12: Fill with fresh water 4 times and shake lightly for 30 seconds each time.
Step #13: Use 2mL of imbibente to a liter to rinse the calcium deposits that may have attached to the film as a result of Rome's calcium rich tap water.
Step #8: Pour the developer solution into the black container and gently shake the container side to side and in a circular motion.
