FP4 Plus
PROCESSING
FP4 Plus can be processed in all types of
processing equipment including spiral tanks, rotary
processors, dishes/trays, deep tanks and
automatic processors. Standard capacity figures
and replenishment rates can be maintained. FP4
Plus is very robust in processing and will tolerate
less than ideal processing conditions. Also, it will
not contaminate the processing chemicals.

Safelight recommendations
Handle FP4 Plus film in total darkness. For very
brief inspections during processing, use the ILFORD
908 (very dark green) safelight filter, with a 15W
bulb, fitted in a darkroom lamp (such as the
ILFORD DL10 or DL20). Do not allow direct
lighting from the safelight to fall on the film.

Agitation
Intermittent agitation is recommended for use in
spiral tanks and deep tanks. Continuous agitation
is recommended in dishes/trays by rocking the
dish/tray. With spiral tanks, invert the tank four
times during the first 10 seconds, then invert the
tank four times again during the first 10 seconds of
each further minute. Otherwise, follow the
recommendations given by the processing
equipment manufacturer.

Stop, fix, wash and rinse
For best results it is recommended that all process
solutions are kept at the same temperature or at
least within 5ºC (9ºF) of the developer
temperature.

Stop Bath
After development the film can be rinsed in water
but we recommend that an acid stop bath is used
such as ILFORD ILFOSTOP (with indicator dye) or
ILFOSTOP PRO (without indicator dye). ILFOSTOP
PRO is recommended for all machine processing
applications. When tanks or dishes (trays) of
process solutions are in use a stop bath
immediately stops development and reduces carry
over of excess developer into the fixer bath. This
helps to maintain the activity and prolong the life
of the fixer solution.

WASH
When a non-hardening fixer has been used wash
the films in running water for 5–10 minutes at a
temperature within 5ºC (9ºF) of the process
temperature.

For spiral tank use, when a non-hardening fixer
has been used, the following method of washing is
recommended. This method of washing is faster,
uses less water yet still gives negatives suitable for
long term storage.

After fixing, fill the spiral tank with water at the
same temperature, +/– 5ºC (9ºF), as the
processing solutions and invert it five times. Drain
the water away and refill. Invert the tank ten times.
Once more drain the water away and refill.
Finally, invert the tank twenty times and drain the

Rinse
For a final rinse use ILFORD ILFOTOL wetting
agent added to water, it helps the film to dry
rapidly and evenly. Start by using 5ml per litre of
rinse water (1+200), however the amount of
ILFOTOL used may need some adjustment
depending on the local water quality and drying
method. Too little or too much wetting agent can
lead to uneven drying. Remove excess rinse
solution from the film before drying.

FIX HARDENER
ILFORD RAPID FIXER and ILFORD ILFOFIX II must
not be used with fix hardeners as they are not
compatible with them. If a fix hardener is required
then only ILFORD HYPAM fixer can be used. Add
ILFORD HYPAM HARDENER to turn HYPAM into a
hardening fixer.
