Hello,

i'll like to process some 5x7 films into an Unicolor 8x10 print tube using D76 1+1.
Since there is a minimum volume (473ml for 1+1) to use to process my film which is like the same as a 35mm,
should i use the D76 stock instead to make sure i will have no overflow.

Regards!

I have used D76 1+1 with 2 ounces of working solution (1 ounce of stock solution) for one 4x5 sheet of film in a BTZS tube. This is a 1 oz stock : 20 square inches of film or 29 ml stock : 20 square inches film.

For a 473 ml working solution at 1:1, this is 236 ml of stock solution, which should be good for 162 square inches of film, or 4 sheets (and some more) of 5x7. I don’t know how many sheets of 5x7 fit into an 8x10 Unicolor drum.
