RTP-163 developer

I sourced a few packets of RTP-163 developer from Chennai. The packaging states that it has metol and hydroquinone as part of its composition. This is probably the same as Kodak's DA-163 developer. According to the literature printed on the dev packet, the developer is 'all purpose' and can be used for both film and papers



This cost me Rs.52 per packet. The powder in the packet makes 1L of concentrate. The ratio to create the working solution is 1 part of concentrate to 3 parts of developer. Works out pretty cheap :) Dev time is mentioned as 5 mins to 8 mins at 20 deg C.
