Troubleshooting
Developer appears cloudy after mixing
Ensure all powder is fully dissolved. If cloudiness persists and does not affect performance, it may be safe to use, but re-check mixing temperature and technique.
Uneven development or streaks on negative
Check agitation technique. Ensure consistent and adequate agitation throughout the development process. Also, ensure the film is fully immersed in the developer.
Negatives appear too dense or too thin
Adjust development time according to the film manufacturer's recommendations for ID11 or consult a development time chart. Ensure accurate temperature control of the developer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Mixing Instructions:
To prepare 1 liter of Ilford ID11 working solution, dissolve the contents of the packet in approximately 400ml of warm water (around 40-50°C or 104-122°F). Stir until fully dissolved. Once dissolved, add more water to reach the final volume of 1 liter. Allow the solution to cool to the recommended development temperature (usually 20°C or 68°F) before use.
Compatibility:
Ilford ID11 is specifically formulated for the development of black and white photographic films. It is not compatible with color films or papers.
Storage:
Store the unopened powder in a cool, dry place. Once mixed, the working solution has a limited shelf life. It is best used immediately. If storing for a short period (up to 24 hours), keep it in a tightly sealed, opaque container at room temperature. For longer storage, consider using smaller, airtight containers to minimize air exposure, though degradation will occur over time.
