I mix up a liter and use it for a week at the most. If I'm using Tmax films I chuck it out even earlier. I want fresh fixer and never muck around with it. In fact, I like fresh everything. That's the appeal of HC110 too. I like mixing up only as much as I need every time. But to be honest, 5 liters of Xtol or D76 doesn't last very long for me so the advantage of HC110 is that it is liquid to start with. I use Photoflo once and then throw it out. Fresh, fresh, fresh. Helps a lot. Daniel On 8/5/05, Scott McLoughlin <scott@adrenaline.com> wrote: > To be honest, I don't know.
