Moersch SE2 Warm is a paper developer for use with all paper types, but preferably RC or PE papers for a neutral to warm tone.

The developer works very fast with a development time of approx. 60 to 75 seconds at 20°C with normal 1+9 dilution. However, this dilution is only recommended for processing resin-coated (RC or PE) papers or for impatient fibre-based workers (FB or Baryta). It produces a neutral to warm tone image, which is strongly dependent on the paper used; with cold tone papers or papers with developer accelerators in the paper itself, the tone is neutral to warm with a tendency to green. Warmtone papers have brownish nuances if they are not developed for more than 70 seconds. Longer development times and more than 90 seconds result in a green tone. A subsequent light selenium toning (diluted to 1+50 to 1+200) removes the greens, makes the image tone slightly cooler and releases deepest black tones.

Due to the very high capacity of the developer, the optimal dilution is 1+20 and a developing time of 2 minutes at 20°C is recommended. If the dilution is higher, the developing time should be extended.

The working solution is very stable and can be kept for several weeks in fully filled containers.

Dilution: 1+9 to 1+25
