Hey, anyone use these eco-pro products?
I can't find too much information on them as far as reviews and how well they work.
I'm going to try the developer since I heard there was quite an incident with XTOL and this is supposedly similar. I was thinking about purchasing some of their Hypo Wash. Curious if anyone uses them.

I have used the Eco-Pro Developer 1:1 and the Eco-Pro fixer for about a year now. I like it a lot and have had great results. I came from using D76 rather than XTOL. I wanted something that would be a bit less worry for me in terms of working with and disposal. That being said, I'm no connoisseur of developers and YMMV.
I have developed a lot of Tri-X and XX in 35mm with Eco-Pro. I have used it a bit for Tmax, Foma 100, and Atomic-X in 4x5.
I would recommend trying it. It's cheap too.

I've been using the eco-pro products for paper printing in the darkroom. I have limited experience with darkroom printing, but I've had no issues with them. Prints I've made have not yellowed or faded after a couple of years.
Also, the odor seems low. I don't have great ventilation in my darkroom and the smell from these has not bothered me.

I use the rapid fixer for B&W negative processing. I buy it from Freetyle and it works great - easy to use and not very expensive. (I am lucky enough to live within driving range of their Hollywood storefront)
