Response to mixing D-76

The package is to make one gallon of stock solution. It is then diluted 1:1, 1 part stock solution to 1 part water. This is the standard dilution, and is always done from stock just prior to your printing session. The solution has a better shelf life before being diluted 1:1 so it is best to follow this procedure. If you are not doing volume processing or are doing it over a period of time, you may want to split the stock up into 1 quart containers, filled to point of over flowing. This will eleminate as much air as possible from the container and will reduce the amount of oxidation over a longer period of time. There are other dillutions that are used, from straight stock to 1:4, for various reasons. I would suggest using 1:1 and try others after you have mastered that. Good luck!
