Paterson Film Processing Starter Kit

Begin developing your own black and white film with the Film Processing Starter Kit from Ilford and Paterson. Comprising everything you need, this kit includes an Ilford SIMPLICITY Starter Pack of developing chemicals, a 35mm cassette opener, a Paterson Universal Developing Tank with two reels, a thermometer, three 22 oz / 600mL graduates, a mixing stirrer, and two sets of film drying clips. Ilford 35mm Film Cassette Opener An indispensable tool for at-home film processing, the 35mm Film Cassette Opener from Ilford is a simple tool designed to make the process of opening 35mm film cartridges easier. Its dedicated design opens the top of the cassette, making it faster to remove the film prior to loading it onto a reel just before development. Ilford SIMPLICITY Starter Pack Containing all of the necessary chemistry for developing black and white film, the SIMPLICITY Starter Pack from Ilford contains pre-measured portions of four concentrated chemicals to produce working solutions for processing one roll of 120 or two rolls of 35mm film in a two-reel, 600mL developing tank. SIMPLICITY Film Developer Film developer sachet contains 60mL of ILFOSOL 3 concentrate, which is then mixed with 540mL of water (1+9 dilution) at temperature to create a 600mL working solution for developing one roll of 120 or two rolls of 35mm film in a two-reel, 600mL developing tank. ILFOSOL 3 is characterized by its ability to produce fine grain results with high sharpness and full film speed, and it is particularly well-suited for use with medium-speed films. SIMPLICITY Stop Bath Stop bath sachet contains 30mL of ILFOSTOP concentrate, which is then mixed with 570mL of water (1+19 dilution) at temperature to create a 600mL working solution for processing one roll of 120 or two rolls of 35mm film in a two-reel, 600mL developing tank. ILFOSTOP is a low odor, citric acid-based stop bath that stops the development process and helps to prolong the life and activity of the fixer solution. It is recommended to ensure accurate development times. SIMPLICITY Film Fixer Fixer sachet contains 100mL of RAPID FIXER concentrate, which is then mixed with 500mL of water (1+5 dilution) at temperature to create a 600mL working solution for processing one roll of 120 or two rolls of 35mm film in a two-reel, 600mL developing tank. RAPID FIXER is a rapid-acting, non-hardening fixer that should not be used with any hardeners. SIMPLICITY Wetting Agent Wetting agent sachet contains 25mL of ILFOTOL, of which two cap-fulls are required per use during the final rinse. This sachet contains enough wetting agent for eight rolls of 120 or 16 rolls of 35mm film in a two-reel, 600mL developing tank. ILFOTOL is a non-ionic wetting agent that aids in rapid, even drying of film, helps to prevent water spots from forming, and promotes anti-static qualities. Paterson Super System 4 Universal Developing Tank and Reels Optimized for developing up to two rolls of film, this Paterson Super System 4 Universal Developing Tank features a versatile and compact design that holds up to two 35mm rolls of film or a single 120/220 roll at a time. Super System 4 tanks feature a high-impact polystyrene design that's durable, lightweight, and easy to clean. Included with this tank is two Auto Load Reels, a matching center column, funnel, lid, and agitator rod. Super System 4 High-impact polystyrene construction is durable, lightweight, and easy to clean Two Paterson Auto Load Reels are included Funnel has a unique snap-in design that is light-tight and quick to install and remove Large-diameter design promotes fast filling and dumping speeds for improved developing accuracy Supports both rotary and inversion agitation methods Auto Load Reel Designed specifically for Super System 4 tanks Smooth finish and twin ball ratchet system ensures easy film loading Adjustable design to accommodate 35mm, 127, and 120/220 film formats Paterson 12" Color Thermometer (Temperature Range 60-150F in 0.5 Increments) The Paterson Color Thermometer is designed for color processing due to its accuracy, but can be used with all photographic processes. This glass spirit thermometer is 12" (30cm) long, and has dual temperature scales from 15°C to 65°C and from 60°F to 130°F.  Accurate to + 0.14°C (+ 0.25°F); Recommended for all color processes. Paterson Plastic Graduate - 22oz(600ml) The well-known Paterson Graduates are made from transparent polystyrene moulded under strictly controlled conditions to ensure total accuracy. They are of a cylindrical laboratory design giving uniform widely separated markings, calibrated in metric, Imperial and US scales, which are very easy to read. They are resistant to most photographic chemicals, and come in five sizes, each with accurate, easy to read markings. 22oz (600ml) Paterson Chemical Stirrer The Paterson Chemical Stirrer is an ergonomically designed mixer that is specially shaped for efficient stirring and incorporates a particle crusher. It is invaluable when making up solutions either from liquid concentrates or from dry powdered chemicals. Paterson Film Clip Set The Paterson Film Clip Set comprises of one weighted clip and one unweighted. The weighted clip is used at the bottom of the film to hold it straight while drying. Stainless steel pins grip the film securely to ensure that the film is held tightly while drying.
