the standard (whatever that means) is 200mls of fresh pot. oxalate with the
correct # of drops for the contrast mix developer you are replenishing added
to the working developer solution. I usually replenish after about 10 20x24
prints and pour off enough old developer so that when I add the 200mls it
equals the volume of working solution I had to begin with.
