TF-5 is an extraordinary fixer for both paper and film
Processing time of only 30 seconds for resin-coated prints, 60 seconds for fiber-based prints, with no hypo clearing agent necessary.
Little or no odor if mixed with distilled water.
No stop bath necessary. Just use water rinse after developing.
Non-hardening. Excellent for use with prints to be toned or re-touched.
It is a near neutral fix that changes the pH of the film or paper from alkaline to near neutral, unlike TF4 in which the film or paper stays at an alkaline pH value
