Ilford 2000 RT Fixer Replenisher

The Ilford 2000 RT is a non-hardening rapid fixer and replenisher supplied as a concentrated liquid for photographic processing. It is designed for darkroom users who need efficient fixing of film and resin-coated papers. The 5 litre volume suits medium to high throughput workflows. Buyers who require a hardening fixer or a powder format cannot use this product.

Sustained processing performance

The working solution operates between 68°F and 90°F with fixing times of 45-50 seconds at 68°F, 30-35 seconds at 77°F, 20-25 seconds at 86°F and 15-20 seconds at 95°F. Non-hardening chemistry reduces washing duration for resin-coated papers. Freshly mixed replenisher has a pH of 5.05+/-1.0 and specific gravity of 1.078+/-.05 at 68°F. Unopened concentrate stores for up to 18 months.

Installation and common issues

Dilute one part concentrate with four parts water and mix thoroughly to create the working strength solution. Initial replenishment rate is 12.5ml per 8x10 inch sheet or 22.5ml per square foot of material processed. Incorrect dilution ratios or temperatures outside the 68°F-90°F range lead to incomplete fixing or excessive chemical consumption. Users without accurate measuring equipment risk inconsistent results.

Questions about this item

Does the Ilford 2000 RT Fixer Replenisher generate any noise, heat or power draw when it is used continuously all day?

The Ilford 2000 RT Fixer Replenisher is a liquid chemical concentrate, so it produces no noise, no heat and draws no electrical power during processing.

What equipment must I already own to use this 5-litre fixer replenisher?

You need a film or paper processor, developing tanks or trays, a water supply for the 1:4 dilution and a thermometer to keep the solution between 20 °C and 32 °C.

Will this fixer work with older resin-coated papers and legacy processors I still keep?

Yes, its non-hardening formula cuts washing time on resin-coated papers and the replenishment rate of 12.5 ml per 8×10 inch sheet suits most older processors.
