Hello..

I've just started using Amidol and I got some great results but I'm unsure as
to how many prints a working solution can do? I am using a 1% solution of
Amidol..Benz...and Sodium sulphite.......the dilution my professor told me (2
oz amidol to 1000ml of water) to use is rather weak and i had to strengthen
it. I went ahead and used a dilution of 50/50. Am i doing somehting wrong?
My books don't say much just recipes and mixing instructions. If anyone can
give me some advice i'd appreciate it! Oh and I read that Ilford makes an
Amidol version? Does anyone know if this is true and if it is any better than
the Formulary's Amidol?

Thankx again..
