The volumes of chemistry are calculated assuming development in the Jobo 2520 tank using the rotation method. This means the total amount is 270 ml. Washing film is done with the full tank, with 775 ml of water.
Developer

| Ilford HP5+ | 1:4 | 54 + 216 water | 400 | 9:00 | 20 |
| Ilford HP5+ | 1:4 | 54 + 216 water | 800 | 10:00 | 20 |
| Ilford Delta 3200 | 1:4 | 54 + 216 water | 3200 | 9:30 | 20 |

Wetting agent
Washing is done in four steps:
- Pour 775 ml of water into a tank and invert it 5 times. Pour it out.
- Pour another 775 ml of fresh water and invert 10 times.
- Pour another 775 ml of fresh water and invert 20 times.
- Pour 775 ml of water mixed with a wetting agent (see below) and invert 5 times.
Ilford Ilfotol
| Dillution | Quantity (ml) | Temperature (C) |
|---|---|---|
| 1:200 | 4 + 771 water | About 20 |
The temperature at which film is washed doesn't have to be as precisely controlled as with the developer. It's probably a good idea however to aim at using the roughly the same temperature.
