Sprint Quicksilver Developer 1 L

Sprint Quicksilver is a professional-grade black-and-white print paper developer supplied as a one-litre concentrate. Its pyrazolidone-hydroquinone formulation delivers precise control over density, contrast and colour without metol, reducing the risk of skin irritation. The chemistry produces consistent neutral tones from highlight to shadow and is suitable for warm-tone papers where a more neutral result is desired.

Check darkroom workflow before ordering

Verify that your processing trays, tongs and temperature control can accommodate standard tray development for fibre or resin-coated papers. The concentrate requires dilution, so confirm you have accurate measuring vessels and a reliable water supply at the working temperature you intend to use. Ensure your safelight filtration is appropriate for the paper emulsions you plan to process.

Replaces metol-based developers

This developer replaces traditional metol-hydroquinone formulas that can shift colour with extended development and may cause allergic reactions. The switch is worthwhile when you need repeatable neutral colour regardless of development time, want warmer-tone papers to render more neutrally, or require a metol-free chemistry for health and safety reasons.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and do I need to buy anything else to start developing prints?

The box contains one litre of Quicksilver liquid concentrate. You will need photographic paper, a stop bath, fixer, trays or a processor, and safe-light illumination to complete the darkroom workflow.

Is the one-litre size the only version available for this developer?

The product is supplied as a single one-litre bottle of concentrate; no other volumes or kit configurations are listed for this formulation.

How does the pyrazolidone-hydroquinone chemistry affect the final print compared with metol-based developers?

It removes metol to lower skin-irritation risk, keeps print colour neutral from highlight to shadow regardless of development time, and gives a more neutral tone on warm-tone papers while letting you control density without shifting contrast.
