WW-1 is a print developer formulated by Wynn White for Ilford Multi-grade Warm-tone paper that is a hybrid between Kodak D-72 and Print Developer 130 Adams Version of Ansco 130 featuring the highlight tone of glycin. The staining effect of the glycin will vary depending upon how long it has aged. The browner the glycin is the more pronounced the staining effect on the highlights will be. If too much glycin is added to the developer the paper base will go to far towards the brown. The addition of potassium bromide to the developer will help warm the blacks.
