Neil, Ansco 130 is a very long lasting developer and it makes excellent prints on all the Ilford, Bergger and Agfa papers I've tried in it. It is my favorite paper developer. I use a "semi-replenishment" method where I replace what carries out of the developer tray each session. I've used the same batch for months at a time. I keep two quarts and then each time I start a new session I add a bit of fresh working solution, perhaps half a pint. When I'm done it goes back in the bottles until next time. It is available as a powder from Photographers Formulary in varous size kits.
