My developer preferences are: Tmax developer D-76 HC110 Acufine These developers all have different uses to create the grain or tone pallet that I desire. I have found that Tmax developer has a good mixed shelf life. D-76 the same. HC 110 is great if mixed as a one shot from the syrup. Make sure you have a good small graduate for mixing. I think it is important though that one mark the mix date on the developer bottle. That way you can make a good judgement when to throw it out. Anything older than two months in a stoppered bottle in a dark environment, I don't trust....and I toss. If in doubt, toss it out. Its too hard to capture time without a chemical screwup. gck
