Professional Film Developer for B&W Photography

Kodak Professional XTOL is a two-part powder developer formulated for black-and-white film processing. It works with Kodak films and a wide range of films from other manufacturers. The chemistry handles normally exposed, pushed, or pulled film with consistent results. Each package makes five litres of working solution for economical high-volume use.

Upgrade from Liquid Concentrates for Shadow Detail

Photographers switching from standard liquid developers gain finer grain and enhanced shadow detail with XTOL. The powder format offers extended shelf life before mixing compared to liquid concentrates. The jump is worth it when you need maximum shadow information and tonal range in stand development or high-dilution workflows. It suits darkroom users who mix fresh chemistry per session rather than storing large volumes of pre-mixed developer.

Powder Mixing Constraints and Solution Capacity

The 248 g powder yield is fixed at five litres, limiting batch flexibility for very small tanks. Users must accurately measure both parts and water temperature for consistent activity. Once mixed, the working solution has a finite lifespan and oxidises faster than some liquid alternatives. Photographers needing single-roll developing or irregular schedules may find the minimum volume impractical compared to single-shot liquid options.

Questions about this item

What size container is required to mix the 5-litre XTOL solution?

A clean vessel that holds at least 5 litres is needed; the two-part powder weighs 248 g and is designed to make exactly 5 L of working developer.

How do you prepare the developer and what common step causes uneven results?

Dissolve Part A completely in warm water, then add Part B and top up to 5 L; skipping the full dissolution of Part A before adding Part B leads to inconsistent development.

How long does the mixed XTOL developer remain usable and what indicates it needs replacement?

Once mixed, the solution stays active for about six months in a full, tightly capped bottle; a noticeable colour shift toward orange-brown signals oxidation and the need for fresh chemistry.
