Moersch Photochemistry – Darkroom chemistry for analog black-and-white photography

Negative Developer

Moersch film developers are intended for photographers who want to control grain, sharpness, tonal separation and compensating effect with precision. The range extends from stain and pyro developers to compensating developers for high-contrast subjects.

Positive Developer

Paper developers determine not only density and contrast, but also the image tone, black density and overall character of a print. Moersch paper developers are formulated for neutral, warm, cool and especially finely differentiated FineArt prints.

Lith

Lith prints are shaped by infectious development, grainy shadows, luminous highlights and colour tones that depend strongly on the paper used. Moersch offers lith chemistry and additives for both beginners and experienced printers.

Fix & Stop

Toners alter the image tone, density and permanence of a black-and-white print. Selenium, sulphur, sepia and special toners allow precise toning effects on fibre-based and resin-coated papers.

Since 1993, Wolfgang Moersch has been developing and producing handmade chemistry for analog black-and-white photography: film developers, paper developers, lith chemistry, toners, fixers and special chemistry for FineArt prints in the darkroom. The products are intended for photographers, lab technicians and printers who want to control negatives and fibre-based prints with precision – from fine grain and high edge sharpness to warm image tones, lith prints and archivally toned prints.

Experience in Photography, the Darkroom and FineArt Printing

Wolfgang Moersch has worked for decades as a photographer, master printer and developer of his own darkroom chemistry. His products are not anonymous industrial chemicals, but are rooted in practical darkroom work and knowledge: negatives, photographic papers, developers, toners and lith processes are tested in combination with one another. What matters is not only the chemical function, but the visible image itself: tonal separation, black density, image tone, grain, detail rendition and archival permanence.

This experience makes Moersch Photochemie especially interesting for photographers who do not merely want to develop their black-and-white images, but consciously interpret them.
