This powder did dissolve okay. Two test "disposable" rolls of Ilford HP5 came out of the development process satisfactorily, but a subsequent roll of Ilford 3200 looked a little thin. From photo.net I learned that Kodak has had some packaging problems with this product and that results with caked Part A were inconsistent. I did email the folks in Rochester from their web page about the situation but have not yet received a reply. Much as I liked what Xtol can do, I guess until Kodak cleans up its act, I'm going to jump on the ID-11 bandwagon. Roy
