Re: making PO developer



Alberto...

Yes, this is the first time I've made it. My water's ph is neutral, a 7.

I'll just filter it and try a print...

Paul,
is this the first time that you prepared it?
Is your tap water particularly hard? If so, your precipitate is calcium oxalate. Perhaps not harmful, but I would prefer to filter or decant it.

Hi all... Last week, I made my potassium oxalate developer. I haven't used it yet, but notice that there is a decent amount of precipitate in the bottom of the bottle. Not matter how much I shake it up, the next day it's still there. Should I just filter this out? ...or be worried about anything else? Thanks... Paul
