Technical Information
Rinse
For a final rinse use ILFORD ILFOTOL wetting agent added to water, it helps the film to dry rapidly and evenly.
Start by using 5ml per litre of rinse water (1+200), however the amount of ILFOTOL used may need some
adjustment depending on the local water quality and drying method. Too little or too much wetting agent can
lead to uneven drying. Remove excess rinse solution from the film before drying.
