Arista Premium Odorless Fixer
Arista Premium Liquid Odorless Fixer is a concentrated photographic chemical for film and paper processing. It suits darkroom workers who want a hypo-allergenic, phenidone-based formula that avoids the strong acetic acid smell of traditional fixers. The non-hardening action helps preserve emulsion integrity during rapid fixing.
Dilution ratios for film and paper
One 5-litre bottle yields 6.6 gallons of working solution at 1:4 dilution for film and 8.7 gallons at 1:7 dilution for paper. These ratios let a single container handle high-volume workflows without frequent replenishment. The concentrate format reduces storage space compared with pre-mixed alternatives.
Limits of liquid concentrate chemistry
Liquid concentrates have a finite shelf life once opened and can oxidise faster than powder equivalents. They require accurate measuring for consistent dilution and must be stored away from temperature extremes to maintain activity. Users needing indefinite storage or exact replenishment rates may prefer dry formulations.

Questions about this item
How often will I need to replace the 5-litre concentrate when mixing at 1:4 for film?
One 5-litre bottle yields 6.6 gallons of working-strength fixer at the 1:4 film dilution, so replacement frequency depends on your processing volume.
What processing limit appears first during a long print session with this fixer?
The non-hardening formula avoids emulsion swelling, so the practical limit is the fixer’s capacity — 8.7 gallons of working solution at 1:7 paper dilution — before exhaustion.
Will the odourless concentrate still raise darkroom temperature or humidity during all-day use?
The concentrate itself is odourless and hypo-allergenic; any heat or humidity change comes from the volume of working solution used, not from chemical fumes.
