Dokumol/Eukobrom alternatives?

[Elmarc]

Hello all,
I am coming to the end of my stock of Dokumol and Eukobrom which I use exclusively.
Now that Tetenal are no more can anyone suggest any alternatives for cold to neutral developers with deep blacks?
Anyone else here facing the same situation?

Any advice most appreciated as usual.

@Elmarc AMALOCO AM 2002 is described as equivalent to Eukobrom by Nordfoto, who acquired both the trademark rights and the original recipes from AMALOCO.

Fotospeed CD11 developer might be a suitable alternative, although it designed for machine processing, it should work perfectly well in a print tray.

 

[Elmarc]

Thank you for all your suggestions.
Much appreciated.
I am also looking into Adox MCC which seems comprable to both Tetenal developers.
Any MCC users here?

What qualities are you looking for in a print developer?

That's the real question.

Yes but I am not one of those who has spend hundreds of even thousands hours in the darkroom and has a densitrometer.
MCC has a long shelf life and higher capacity than Dektol and black seems to be more black is all I can say.

Cold to neutral with deep blacks that does not exhibit any hint of a green cast regardless of paper.
A long working solution life would also be preferable.

This is helpful nonetheless. Are you referring to the long shelf life of the concentrate or working solution?

 

[Ernst-Jan]

Both. But with the MCC it is no problem if there is like 3 weeks between your darkroom sessions, the working solution still is fine

Is there really such a thing? What papers do you actually use?
