 ZONALPro  
There's more to each ZONALPro product than state-of-the-art formulation, bottle-to-bottle consistency, and adaptability to the needs and desires of dedicated photographers.

With ZONALPro, you get:

  • High concentration for maximum economy and convenience in handling, storage, and mixing.
  • Compatibility with virtually all brands of film and print emulsions currently available. You'll no longer need to store separate solutions for each emulsion.
  • Extended shelf life in concentrate form: up to 2 years under normal storage conditions.
  • Extended capacity at working strength.
  • Broad latitude for processing temperature, development time, and dilution variations.
  • Tray, tank, or machine processing system compatibility.
  • Convenient 4 oz., 16 oz., 1 qt., and larger sized containers designed for ease of handling and significantly reduced photo-oxidation.
  • Highly buffered solutions to maintain effective working pH so you can achieve consistent results throughout tray life.
  • Sequestering, which allows you to use local tap water to mix solutions without altering their performance characteristics.


 ZONALPro  GAMMAPlus

GAMMA Plus is a highly concentrated developer formulated to provide maximum processing flexibility under normal, plus or minus developing procedures. Compatible with monosized, t-grain, and conventional halide emulsions, GAMMA Plus provides excellent acutance, fine grain structure, and extended tonal separation in both shadow and highlight details. Film speed adjustments and tone value placements are achievable and predictable through variations of processing time, temperature, or developer concentration. GAMMA Plus is suitable for tray, tank, or machine processing.

 ZONALPro ECRapidFixer

ZONAL Pro® EC RAPID Fixer is an extended capacity (EC) fixer designed to minimize emulsion wet times, promoting both efficient archival washing and conservation of the amount of wash water needed to produce image permanence. ZONAL Pro® EC RAPID Fixer will achieve complete removal of residual silver halide from a print in 30 seconds or less and is formulated for efficient and rapid negative fixing while providing the solvent effect needed for the removal of dye components from film emulsions. ZONAL Pro® EC RAPID Fixer is suitable for tray, tank, or machine processing.

USE RECOMMENDATION:
 Emulsion Type Suggested Mix Ratio  Fixing Time
 Paper, Fiber Base  l00ml/Liter (1:9)  1 Minute
 Paper, RC Base  l00ml/Liter (1:9)  1 Minute
 Films, Kodak T-Max®  200ml/Liter (1:4)  4 Minutes**
 Films, All Others  145ml/Liter (1:6)  3 Minutes

**Frequent and rapid agitation during the fixing cycle will assure removal of red/pink dye components.


 ZONALPro  FIXERHardener

ZONAL Pro® Fixer Hardener is a high capacity fixer additive designed to enhance the surface durability of all photographic emulsions. When used with ZONAL Pro® EC RAPID Fixer, it will minimize abrasions in processing, handling, and storage while promoting the rapid drying of both films and papers. ZONAL Pro® Fixer Hardener does not contain formaldehyde. ZONAL Pro® Fixer Hardener is suitable for tray, tank, or machine processing.

USE RECOMMENDATION:

 ZONALPro  ARCHIVALRinse

A highly concentrated washing agent which assures archival permanence while reducing wash water consumption and washing time of negatives and prints by 80 to 90%. The solution speeds the removal of residual fixer and silver-sulfur compounds from emulsions and paper base fibers, minimizing processing wet time while preserving print brilliance and contrast. ZONAL Pro® Archival Rinse can also be used as the dilution medium for Selenium Toners to help achieve archival permanence of the toned image.

USE RECOMMENDATION:
Add 1.5 to 2 oz. of Archival Rinse concentrate per gallon of water.

Temperature Range: 45° F to 75° F Mix Ratio Latitude: 1:1 to 1:62
 ZONALPro  INDICATORStopBath

ZONAL Pro® Indicator Stop Bath provides effective process control through its immediate and complete termination of development and neutralization of development alkalinity, extending the capacity of the fixing bath. Its high concentration prevents staining and the formation of mineral deposits on negatives or prints. The solution will change to a visible purple color to indicate exhaustion when developer carry-over causes the pH to exceed 6.8. A mild citrus scent has been added to the concentrate to minimize the acidic darkroom odors normally associated with stop bath solutions.

USE RECOMMENDATION:
For negatives and prints, add 15 ml of ZONAL Pro® Indicator Stop Bath concentrate per liter (2 oz. per gallon) of water (1:62). This concentrate is suitable for tray, tank or machine processing.

Temperature Range: 45° F to 75° F Mix Ratio Latitude: 1:1 to 1:66
