MAJOR NEW PRODUCT ANNOUNCEMENT: SILVERGRAIN
Digitaltruth Photo announces the release of the Silvergrain range of
photo chemicals, formulated by Ryuji Suzuki. This is a truly exciting announcement because Silvergrain products are the first to make use of the latest research in modern photo chemistry and represent a major advance over other products currently on the market. Quite simply, Silvergrain is the best photo chemistry that has ever been produced. Silvergrain b/w chemicals are formulated with the following aims: *to reduce toxicity beyond levels currently available *to maximize shelf-life and longevity of all solutions *to produce the finest results possible *to provide unsurpassed archival quality SPECIAL PRE-LAUNCH OFFER All products will be available for shipping on May 30th, but we are offering special pre-launch pricing THIS WEEK ONLY. For more information please visit: http://www.digitaltruth.com/store/silvergrain.html The first phase of products includes: Tektol Standard - is a liquid concentrate print developer designed to maximize the paper's natural image property with rich blacks and natural whites. Tektol Standard is the ideal choice for printers who stock a warmtone paper, a neutral paper, and a coldtone paper and select the paper to meet the desired image quality, and is further optimized to produce the maximum effect when used in conjunction with print toners. Tektol Neutral - a liquid concentrate print developer designed to provide neutral black tones with most papers. Some popular papers tend to provide slightly warm blacks or olive blacks when processed in a standard print developer, but this developer will minimize this bias while maintaining rich blacks and bright whites. Tektol Neutral is the ideal choice for printers who prefer a neutral black tone out of their favorite papers. Clearfix Alkaline - a standard archival rapid fixer, ideal for both films and prints. This rapid fixer is designed to expedite fixing as well as the washing speed, without any adverse effect to the image quality or permanence. Most films and RC papers can be washed to the archival level in a matter of minutes. If you are still using an acid rapid fixer, this is the product you have been waiting for to speed up washing and achieve archival standards. Clearwash - a wash aid supplied in convenient, highly concentrated liquid stock. Clearwash works very similarly to Kodak Hypo Clearing Agent without the mess of powder chemicals. Unlike many other wash aid products being offered in liquid concentrate form, this product is designed to optimize the shelf life as well as the tray life of the solution and improves archival quality. More products, including film developers, will be added to the Silvergrain range in 2006-7. Silvergrain products are available exclusively from Digitaltruth Photo: http://www.digitaltruth.com |

We have specifically avoided referring to any other competing products and only mentioned HCA because many people are unclear as to the differences between the terms Hypo Clearing Agent, Washing Aid and Archival Wash, and might not understand that Clearwash can be substituted for HCA. Many people prefer to avoid mixing chemicals from powder, which is one of the reasons we have formulated the Silvergrain line of products in liquid concentrate form. We respect all intellectual property rights and did not mean to imply anything else. Our intent is to continue to develop and make available the best possible photo chemical products, a process which is no longer actively being carried out by the major companies, and we are confident that anyone who uses the Silvergrain range of chemicals will find them to be superior to all other products currently on the market. |

Ryuji is one of our own, has paid his dues, has freely given his vaste and accurate knowledge of chemistry to the photographic community for years and I have little doubt he has produced a top notch system. With the collapse of many the major manufacturers the it's nice knowing there is an opportunity for new boutique suppliers to emerge. I for one will be placing my order shortly. Hurry up you guys I can hardly wait for the film developers! Please let us know how it improves upon D-23, F6 and a wuick wash in metaborate. == John S.

D-23 contains metol, so from an environmental point of view, and also for anyone who suffers allergic reactions to metol, Tektol is an improvement. But I am confused, because as far as I am aware D-23 is a film developer and Tektol is a print dev, so the comparison is hard to make. There are a lot of benefits to using Silvergrain products, specifically in terms of reduced toxicity, longer shelf and tray life, shorter washing sequences etc.. For a lot more data, please consult both of the technical information sheets we have published: http://www.digitaltruth.com/store/si...in-tektol.html http://www.digitaltruth.com/store/si...ixandwash.html Hope this helps, and thanks to everyone for all of the positive feedback and messages that have been posted - your support is greatly appreciated. --Jon |
