I use 1 liter, 0.5 liter and 0.25 liter PET plastic beverage bottles, with the label removed and re-labeled with the appropriate information.

The best practice on this site is to store in 100% full containers, tightly stoppered. Plus it was enjoyable.ĭeveloper is the only solution that is sensitive to oxidation.

I did this as a sort of seminar/training course, and it helped immensely. One suggestion is to read the entire forum from the beginning (yes, all posts) related to C-41 processing.

Here are some options I am considering, and was hoping for some input. It looks like the standard chemicals needed for C-41 processing are: 1) developer/replenisher, 2) developer starter, 3) bleach, and 4) fixer. However a lot of the information now seems to be out of date as I cannot find some of the chemicals mentioned. I have reviewed the great information on the following threads: I am looking to purchase chemicals that will be economical and have a longer shelf life if possible. I will only be developing a few sheets of 4x5 and a few 120 rolls a year using a tank and reel. I will mainly be developing 120 film and some 4x5. I just recently joined phototrio, and am really impressed with all of the great information that everyone has provided.Īfter doing B&W development for a while I am looking to start C-41 development.
