Hello all!

Has anyone ever tried this?

http://freestylephoto.biz/10820-Silver-Pixel-RA-4-Color-Print-RT-Developer-2-x-10-liter?cat_id=1004

Does anyone know what would be a good starting time/temp for dev and blix?
The manufacturer does not publish much info.

Is it safe to assume that the "Arista" RA-4 kits are downsized from these same kits?

Thanks all in advance.

I was actually able to dig up a little information myself, and I actually tried it!

The kit is the same as the Kodak Ra-4 RT kit.

It can be used at room temperature and with trays.

No, you don't need the "starter" as the mixing instructions state.

I processed mine in a Cibachrome Drum and got very clean results.

My times were as follows,

Developer : 2 Min.

Stop : 30 Sec.

Blix : 2 Min.

Most Ra-4 paper develops to completion in about 2 minutes, so accurate timing is not a big issue here. Consistency with each processing step is what really matters.
