Mixing & Floating Particles
After mixing the DEVELOPER (pictured above left), you will notice floating particles in the developer. This is normal. While there is no need to take any action, some customers have strained their developer into a new container using a coffee filter. (photo by Michael Ogden)
Can I PUSH my colour film?
What if I shot my Portra 400 at 800 iso…or 1600 iso? Can I push develop? Yes, you can.
1 stop push, extend the developing time to 4 minutes 40 seconds
2 stop push, extend the developing time to 5 minutes 25 seconds.
3 stop push is not recommended for colour film.
How do I remove “rem jet” layer from Kodak Vision 3 line of films with FPP’s c-41 Kit?
If you’re familiar with ECN-2 films then you know that it contains a black carbon base that needs to be removed. Most folks think you need a separate product to remove this rem jet. You don’t. Use your thumb and save some cash!
When you’re heating your chemistry, keep that bucket of water for your final wash. After your last step (fixer), rinse your film in your of hot water (80 – 102 degrees F). With your thumb, gently rub the non-emulsion side of your film as you remove it from your film reel. Careful not to scratch the emulsion of your film. Final rinse under running water before submerging your film into the two-minute Stabilizer. You will see the black rem jet in your water as you rinse.
That’s it! Hang your film to dry and then scan! Enjoy!!!!
Notice: We can not replace kits if not mixed properly or if accidentally discarded. Do not get your bleach or fixer (even a drop) into your developer! We only sell full kits. We do not have replacement parts. We do not accept returns on photo chemistry.
