![]() I pre-soak my C-41 and E6 with no problems, fyi. The blix (bleach and fix combo) is made by mixing blix A and B together. The kit consists of developer, blix A, blix B, and stabilizer. The tetenal c-41 press kit lists presoak for 1 min. I've not done control test to verify this but I think you are better off not pre soaking, just get the tank up to temp.īlametheparents1982 the Ilford wash method is fill and dump with 5, 10 and 20 inversions. Absorption of the developer into the emulsion is critical with the c41 layers, therefore if you presoak you can risk having colour casts. My understanding is color cross over will be an issues if you presoak. With such short development time I believe it helps developer distribution and saturation into the emulsion. Would somebody describe me the Tetenal powder kit? The components in it. Then the final Stabilizer outside the processor due to contamination with foam in the elevator system. In fact I am doing the same in the Jobo CPA-2 in rotary:ġ minute, 2 minutes, 4 minutes rinse on every water change (3 times). Yes, you can do the Ilford method water rinse. if I do not have running water connection during rinse, is it 1, 5,10 inversions as alternate? In the process you need almost continuous agitation hence a Jobo rotary processing in a water bath is a big advantage.Īnd the version with an elevator you can process on the second accuracy. For the rest you have to keep up the temperature > 35C during the processing. The critical step is de C41 developer step on 100F/37,8C. You want them the same is it brings the temperatures of both the film emulsion, and the tank to match the same as the developer so there is no changes in temperature.Ĭ41 developer 100F/37,8C +/- 0,5 3:15 minutes Is it important for the preheat (presoak) also to be at same temperature as the developer? is temperature important for presoak too? thanks in advance. When not agitating, I leave the tank in the water.īTW, I use 3:15 for my development (tetenal colortec- liquid), never seemed to have any problems. I once measured through out the process and I noticed the developer cooled down in the paterson tank even though I pre heat it. I do similar to mattneighbour - I fill the launfry sink with hot water heat teh developer to 39-40 and start there. ![]() When the developer has got to 38C I start. I just put water straight from the hot tap into a bowl (~60C) and put pre-mixed solutions in there to warm up. Wayne Stevenson edited this topic ages ago. ![]() ![]() It is the time recommended for rotary processing but has given me perfect results as well using inversion SS tanks. Any brief pause in the pouring will likely cause density issues. I don't like development times shorter than five minutes. Will it be sufficient if the temperature of water in second pail is 2 -3 degrees above required processing temperature? agitate it as per instructions and keep it in the second pail in between to maintain the temperature. This is what I am trying to do to maintain temperature and would appreciate your inputs :ġ) Have a pail of hot water ( 120 fahreinheit )Ģ) keep another pail of cooler water ( 2-3 degrees aboveĭip a beaker with the working solution in the hot water pail and wait for the temperature to raise to 110 and then mix the developer in the working solution. I am trying to do C-41 processing at home with tetenal powder kit.
