And chemical agents will help the stored film not catch some fungus. Soap will help preventing drying marks on the film. It's basically soap and some chemical agents that help in long time storage of the processed film. That is also true with blix in its mixed form. Don't spill it - it will stain everything and it will be difficult to get it out. You probably shouldn't smell your fixer though. I don't know the chemical contents of each part but I know the smell of a fixer when I smell it! Based on that I would say that Part 1 is mostly bleach and Part 2 is mostly fixer. Your mileage may vary but unless I want to bleach bypass I prefer blix in one.īlix comes in two parts. I also haven't seen better output from a kit with bleach and fix as separate steps. But I like the faster development time and having less bottles and steps to do. You might say that having them separate is better based on the positives. Having them mixed in one ( blix ) has the benefit of it being quicker and easier. It will lead to some desaturated but contrasty images. You have to skip bleaching step in this technique.
This is a part where there's some variability. Next is the Bleach Fix or Blix as it's more commonly known. Color Developer Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3. Although the bottles are cute - they are sealed with a foil like thing that is impossible to take off with fingers. I do like the small bottles - they are cute. The contents of the box don't change - only the concentrate volume.īox contents placed outside of the box. Tetenal Colortec C-41 kit comes in two sizes: C-41 kit that's more oriented for home use can be optimised for lower temperatures and different agitation methods.
#C 41 developer kit manual#
Manual development by hand is the only way. Most photographers won't have these automated machines at home. C-41 was designed as an automated process where machines would do all the work. C-41 kits meant for home use can alter the formula a bit to make it easier to develop film with manual methods. There's still a reason to dish out a few words. If every C-41 developer / kit is the same - what's the point of reviewing them? Different C-41 kits should also develop all films the same way.
Regardless of the base speed for the film. This means that all films are developed in a single temperature, for a specified time. Same for photographers - everyone will have a go-to developer for every circumstance.Ĭ-41 is a standardised process.
Some films might prefer one developer and others a different one. Is it weird to review C-41 kits? When developing black and white photos - each developer will give a different look.
