You will find greater control of contrast, grain and speed with other traditional developers and fixer combinations. Nor is it the perfect solution to all negative processing needs. The monobath technique is not new, every Polaroid instant image uses a monobath type of chemistry.
We have found workable temperatures that are easy to accommodate your ambient temperature. If you want to develop Kodak Double X and Rollie Infrared IR400 in the same tank, it’s no problem. What’s even easier there are no time changes for using one of these films over the other. Through much testing we have a recommended list of films that work with our monobath formula. Some monobath formulas claim to work with any film, all at the same time and temp, but we believe this is not the case.

Please read all the additional information on this page to get the most out of your FPP Monobath experience. Monobath will get dirty and sludge colored after a few uses- that color will not impact the monobath. That time variance is determined by the number of rolls. How long will my FPP Super Monobath last on my shelf?! If you don't develop frequently, make sure after use that your Monobath bottle has all the air squeezed out of it before sealing - should last 3 - 6 months. High Speed films like delta 3200 or Tmax 3200 will not develop out to their fullest and be thin and under developed. There is no way to extend the developing time in a Monobath, if you leave film in Monobath longer you are only extending the final part if the equation, the fixer. Personally I think this is just magical ). Monobath processes anything you put in it at one developer time before the stop, then fix steps take over.

Higher ISO films and some not so high films require longer times in the developer and standard times in the fixer. Why do you not recommend films with a higher ISO than 400 in MonoBath? Not recommended for film with a higher ISO than 400. The FPP Monobath will last you approx 15 rolls of film (35mm) per 1 liter. It will not increase development time but will extend the fix time. Kodak TMax will need longer process time. Super MonoBath works at 3.5 minutes 75 degrees or 5.5 minutes 68 degrees. Note: Don't be afraid of extending you process time.
NOTE: The FPP Super Monobath is archival (just like any other developer) if you properly wash your negatives after development.
