Abstract True-to-type development without any overflow is achieved with a developer solution system of a refill solution and--replenished therewith--a ready-to-use developer solution which contains the following constituents in the quantities indicated per liter aqueous solution and, optionally, other typical consituents: 3-15 g of the following color developer compound ##STR1## or a corresponding quantity of salts thereof, 8-35 g PO 4 3 ions, at least 0.2 g antioxidant and 2.1-4.2 g KBr and which is adjusted to a pH value of 10.5 to 12.5, the regeneration quota amounting to between 50 and 120 ml/m 2 developed material and the refill solution containing the individual constituents in a such a concentration that, for the above-mentioned regeneration quota, the in-use developer solution always contains the constituents shown above in the quantities indicated.
A negative working developer solution system consisting essentially of a refill solution and a ready-to-use developer solution replenished therewith for color negative paper, wherein said ready-to-use developer solution contains the following constituents in the quantities indicated per liter aqueous solution 0-20 g benzyl alcohol 3-15 g of the following color developer compound ##STR4## or a corresponding quantity of salts thereof, - 2g of the following color developer compound ##STR5## or a corresponding quantity of salts thereof, - 35g PO 4 3 ions, at least 0.2 g antioxidant and 2.1-4.2 g KBr and is adjusted to a pH value of from 10.5 to 12.5, in that the regeneration quota amounts to between 50 and 120 ml/m 2 developed material and the refill solution contains the individual constituents in such a concentration that, for the regeneration quota shown, the in-use developer solution always contains the above-mentioned constituents in the quantities indicated.
