Perhaps I should have mentioned that point, as well. I understood he
was asking what the minimum was. I often make only a few prints and
then might only use 100 or 150 ml for an 8x10. If I will print all
day, I would use more and might add developer. Even so, 2 liters is
way more than needed for quite a few 12x16's (each eq. to 2.5 sheets
of 8x10). Kodak gives a fair summary of the capacity of their
solutions.
