Jake,

Washing Soda is Sodium carbonate, you can usually get it in any drug store. From which country are you from? Maybe I can give you some tips where to get it.
As for instant coffee we found out that the cheaper the coffee is, the better it works for caffenol.

cheers,

Hi my student wants to try this method of developing. Before i let him do this I want to know what Washing Soda is? I also would like to know if there is any instant coffee that is the best one to use.

thanks jake

Thank you for this post. I came across it whilst looking to do a contact print I had no idea paper was so fast to develop!!

It worked wonderfully.

I did try the time in the dev chart with the recommended double vitamin C – however I got very thin negatives. I then tested offcuts of fully exposed film leader in small amounts of the Delta-STD (Caffenol C) mix for various times. I found that to get the same density as with my standard purchased developer I needed 24 mins development.

I pretty much 4 times the regular ammount of vitamin c as the classic delta recipe, and have good results on illford fiber paper, but for matte or glossy paper one typically needs to give time for the paper it’s self to tone in the solution.
