20 Volume developer should be used when toning hair.
Hair gets lighter
Their are 2 parts to a hair color system. The toner, or "color" part, and the developer, or "peroxide" part. Developers come in 4 different strengths called VOLUMES. 10 volume being weakest . Solite Matrix Developer is a peroxide developer. There are several other brands of developers. Most companies make their own brand and encourage you to use it with their toner, but you can use different developers, as long as they are the correct volume for the toner. All are peroxide products in a liquid or a creme consistency. 10 volume lifts the cuticle of the hair and allows the deposit of a color products to grip the hair. Most glazes are meant to be mixed with a 10 volume developer, but the container should tell you what volume ( 10, 20 or 30 ) and the amt to use. If the hair color says mix to a 1:1 ratio, it means for each part toner, use and equal amt of the correct volume developer. 20 volume peroxide developers lighten the hair and lift the cuticle to deposit color, 30 volume is strong stuff, can burn your hair and scalp and should not be used at home. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE TONER BOX.

Yes, bleach or a high lift color mixed with 30 vol. developer is needed in order to lighten hair.
Well the higher the developer is the faster it shall get to being lighter. So if you use 30 you shall get lighter hair faster.
No. It is not recommended to use hair dye without the developer or without it's original content. However if you were to use a temporary rinse then a developer isn't needed. If you are using any dyes that are not already ready to go (previously mixed by the manufacturer) then you will need to follow those instructions and mix your developer with the color.
40 Volume developer is not recommended to use when bleaching hair as it is very strong and can cause major damage if not done by a professional. 20-30 volume would be better and safer for home use.
30 volume developer will lighten the hair three levels.
