The gold standard for B&W developing
I have been using Ilford Rapid Fixer for over a decade. It is incredibly consistent, clears film quickly, and the concentrate lasts a long time when stored properly. Essential for any darkroom.

Excellent capacity
I was impressed by how many rolls I could process with just one liter of concentrate. It remains effective even near the end of its life if you monitor the clearing time.

Perfect for students and pros
We use this in our university photography lab. It is forgiving for beginners but precise enough for professional work. The non-hardening formula is great for archival processing.

Solid performer
Does the job well. I dock one star only because the bottle cap can be a bit tricky to seal tightly after opening, but the liquid itself is top quality.

Fast and reliable
Works exactly as advertised. The fixing time is very short compared to older formulas, which speeds up my whole workflow. No staining on my negatives whatsoever.

Great product, strong odor
The chemical performance is excellent and my films come out perfectly clear. Just be aware that it has a fairly strong sulfur smell, so good ventilation in the darkroom is a must.
Q: Is a hardener included in this formula?
A: No, Ilford Rapid Fixer is a non-hardening fixer. This is generally preferred for modern films as it allows for faster washing and better archival stability.
Q: Is this safe to pour down the drain?
A: Disposal regulations vary by location. Generally, small amounts of spent fixer from home use may be flushed with plenty of water in areas connected to municipal sewage treatment, but large quantities should be taken to a hazardous waste facility. Please check your local environmental guidelines.
Q: How do I know when the fixer is exhausted?
A: You can test exhaustion by measuring the clearing time of a film leader. If the clearing time exceeds double the initial clearing time of fresh solution, it is time to replace the bath.
Q: Can this fixer be used for both film and photographic paper?
A: Yes, Ilford Rapid Fixer is suitable for both black and white film and fiber-based or resin-coated papers. The recommended dilution is 1:4 for film and 1:7 for paper.
Q: What is the approximate shelf life once the concentrate is opened?
A: If stored in a cool, dark place with the cap tightly sealed, an opened bottle of concentrate typically lasts 12 to 24 months. Always check for precipitation or color changes before use.
