Glycin is a wonderful developing agent for
both film and paper. It is fine grain, ultra clean working,
lengthens the life of phenidone, and produces THE most attractive
warm tone prints with the subtlest highlights. Print craftsmen
and women long ago recognised the Ansco 130 formula based
on glycin as the experts’ choice. Ansel Adams used a
modified version of it for some of his very finest work. So
why don’t we see this wonderful ingredient in commercially
available developers? Because it costs a fortune! And is difficult
to get hold of. But sometimes the best is worth paying for.
New Umbralux© is my own take on the lovely formula updated
for today’s papers. Now you can have deep rich shadows,
and simultaneously get the most delicate highlights as if
you were using a two bath print developer. If you are a traditional
printer, don’t miss this. The price is high because
the cost to us is high. You can treat yourself to it as a
luxury, but we think you’ll consider it an investment
in unmatched quality once you have tried it. Pack to make
