In addition to following the standard directions for C-41 home-processing please add the following steps. Our recycled 1-Liter containers are perfect for storing and squeezing. You will need THREE bottles for your C-41 Kit (One for the Developer, One for the Blix, One for the Stabilizer)

Blix is used by most C41 manufacturers because it makes the process simpler. Blix is the combination of bleach and fix in a single step, much like the CInestill Monobath, where a single solution does all three steps at once. Blix is convenient for home developers because it combines both steps in one and ensures users don’t need to rinse between solutions.With services ranging from ‘Development Only’ through to ‘High-Res’ Digital Scans – you are sure to find the service which you require. After some years of film developing it is notably easier to develop colour film in the warmer summer months in the UK (for me). I tend to have a cold house for the rest of the year (and save money on utility bills so I can buy more cameras!).

As it stands, the small differences are easy to fix in the scanner, Negative Lab Pro, or even in the darkroom. Lomo 400 at night. Image taken on a Hasselblad 500c. Final thoughts Processing ANY color negative film at home is easy with these 2 simple chemistry mixtures. No special equipment needed! The bleaching step removes the silver content from the film, leaving behind just the color dyes in the film. So skipping the step essentially means you will keep the B&W image as well as the color image.The Flic Film kit does take a little longer than a regular C41 kit to develop a roll, and I do wish they would give more information in the pamphlet that comes with the developer. But as it stands, I firmly believe that this is the best option for film photographers on the market. Tetenal recommends you extend the bleach-fix every four rolls. So 6 minutes for first four you process, 8 minutes for rolls 5-8, then 12 minutes for rolls 9-12 and, finally, 20 minutes for rolls 13-16. We have noticed that the Blix seems to seep out more than other chemicals we’ve used, don’t be surprised if you find it leaking a little bit. Protective gloves can be useful if you want to avoid getting your hands messy. It is also worth mentioning that you can’t over Blix, so if in doubt leave it a bit longer. in the aggregate with other information in such a way so that your identity cannot reasonably be determined (for example, statistical compilations); It is important to maintain the chemistry at 30°C when you process colour film. To avoid a temperature drop, and to prepare your film, you need to warm the tank up. To do this, fill your tank, with the film already loaded, with 30°C water for 5 minutes before starting to develop. After 5 minutes you can pour the water away.
