Sprint Block Stop Bath, Vanilla Scented Indicator 1Ltr #SB001-R

What sets the Block Stop Bath apart is its expertly crafted formula designed to halt the development of black & white films and papers with precision and care. This high-quality stop bath solution adjusts the pH levels efficiently, ensuring that your prints and films are preserved without the common side effects associated with conventional stop baths.

The innovative vanilla-scented indicator within the Block Stop Bath is not only pleasant to the senses but also serves as a reliable visual cue for photographers. It signals when the solution has reached exhaustion, allowing for timely and effective management of your black & white printing solutions.

Traditional stop baths often rely on harsh acids that can be hazardous, emit unpleasant odors, and potentially damage delicate prints by breaking down the sizing that protects fibers from fixer thiosulfate contamination-a leading cause of print deterioration. The Block Stop Bath, however, is formulated with buffered acids, which are significantly more gentle on prints, ensuring durability and the long-term preservation of your work.

As an integral component of the SPRINT SYSTEM processes, Block Stop Bath is designed to work seamlessly with other SPRINT black & white printing products. It not only provides the necessary stop bath function but also synchronizes the exhaustion signals across all baths, enhancing the efficiency of your developing process.

When preparing your prints for fixing with alum hardener, Block Stop Bath ensures the correct acid value is achieved, making it an essential step for achieving optimal results. Its efficient formula allows one liter of concentrate to yield an impressive 10 liters of working solution. This translates to enough capacity for treating 600 8x10 fiber prints, 900 8x10 resin-coated prints, or 600 rolls of film, making it a cost-effective and reliable choice for photographers who value both quality and quantity.

In summary, the Block Stop Bath is an effective, efficient, and high-quality solution that offers a safer and more pleasant developing experience for black & white film and paper processing. With its vanilla scent and buffered acid formula, it stands as a superior alternative to traditional stop baths, ensuring both the protection of your prints and a more enjoyable darkroom environment.
