Preparing Powder Developer

Today we mix one liter of stock solution of Ilford Microphen, though the process is identical for ID-11 and Perceptol. When you see dilutions given in developing instructions as "Microphen 1+3" it simply means one part stock solution, as we are mixing today, plus three parts water. In other words "Developer 1+3" would be 25% stock solution and 75% water. Similarly, "Developer 1+1" would be fifty percent stock solution and fifty percent water. It is not necessary to use distilled water for this part of the process. Ordinary tap water is fine.
