Just wondering if anyone might be using Sprint Chemistry, how you like it for general work, and what the dilutions might be for film, and paper developer, and their fixer?

Also where do you buy from and are there any extra shipping charges?

Thanks

Under advice of this list, I'm about to try it myself. They all come as fluids and you mix them 1:9 with water.

I bought mine from Bergen County Camera in NJ. 201-664-4113 I've heard that there might be issues with shipping some of the chemicals so ask if you buy them mail order from somewhere.

Jeff:

I use some of the Sprint chems regulargly. I use their stop bath, fixer, hypo clearing agent, and wetting agent. I tried their print developer and didn't particularly like it. I've never used their film developer. The stop bath and hypo clearing agent are diluted 1+9. The fixer is diluted 1+9 for prints and 2+8 for films. The wetting agent is diluted 1+99. The fixer hardener is purchased separately and requires a Hazmat shipping fee. I don't use the hardener and have never had any problems. They have product information and MSDS sheets at their website at sprintsystems.com.

OH!, I believe the wetting agent requires a Hazmat fee too, but maybe not. It's been so long since I bought any I can't remember.
