Take your black and white photography to the next level with Ilford PQ Universal Paper and Film Developer. This high-quality, professional-grade developer is a liquid concentrate specifically designed for dish or tray developing of all resin coated (RC) and fiber-based (FB) black and white photographic papers. Crafted from a unique blend of dimezones and hydroquinone derivatives, this durable developer is known for its excellent keeping properties and efficiency. Unlike the Ilford Multigrade developer, the PQ Universal developer imparts a slightly warmer tone to your photographs, adding a touch of classic charm to your monochromatic images.Not only is this reliable developer perfect for use with Ilford's own range, but it also works seamlessly with technical films from other manufacturers. It's an ideal choice for dish or tray developing of general-purpose sheet films when a rapid working, high contrast developer is needed. However, it's worth noting that this developer is best suited for projects where a high degree of enlargement is not required.Please note that the PQ Universal is not recommended for processing general purpose 35mm and roll film formats, or for high-temperature or machine processing applications. Trust in the Ilford PQ Universal Paper and Film Developer to deliver consistently impressive results for your black and white photography needs.

I did darkroom stuff with the product and it was good and reliable as usual. I'll buy it again in future.

I learned to develop photograms with the Iliford suite of chemical baths in the darkroom at the Union for Contemporary Art in Omaha, NE. The photograms were so details and beautiful, I invested in my own materials. I return with botanical specimens to crete studies for my botanical art.This is a fantastic way of image making that is opening my eyes to elements in my plant models that I had not seen before.
