This is a working solution. Do not dilute it with water.

Yes, that's true. This ADOX thermometer has a calibration screw. All these thermometers sold in Poland have instructions in their manuals that they should be calibrated before first use. However, I didn't find this recommendation in online stores in other countries. I was convinced that our...

OK, I get it now. So the photos were shot on Vision3 250D, and the emulsion code was contact-printed onto the duplicating stock. Thank you for the explanation @koraks 😀👍

The attached photos show the film used to make the positive print. It's Kodak Eastman 5207 emulsion (Vision3 250D). I'm also curious what film @adamlugi used to expose in the camera. WFDiF is an abbreviation for the Polish name "Wytwornia Filmow Dokumentalnych i Fabularnych" (Documentary and...

No, it's the standard 4-bath C-41 set from Jobo. Separate bleach and fixer. Notice that the OP provided a link to this set under the set name. https://www.jobo.com/en/chemistry/9240-c-41-color-negative-developer?ecms_lang=EN

If you're looking for advice, first show us your results, which you think are inconsistent. Don't post finished scans, but photos of the negatives against a light background (preferably a white wall). These can be photos taken with your phone. Thanks to the white wall, the automatic WB on the...

How can a temperature of 32°C damage the film if the C-41 process is a high temperature process (38°C) ?

It is definitely made in Japan, but I am not sure it is Fuji.

I'll just add that regarding replenishing bleach: Oxygenation (by shaking the bottle) and adding some ammonium bromide isn't enough. You also need to ensure the bleach has the proper pH. Here's a separate thread from 2017...

Thank you @koraks Both the Ammonium Ferric EDTA and Ammonium Ferric PDTA bleach formulas contain quite a bit of Ammonium Bromide. I checked the availability of this chemical in Poland, and it's not very expensive. Around €17 for 250g of 99% pure Ammonium Bromide. This could lead to...

There are a lot of posts and questions on this forum about different bleaches in the C-41 (and ECN2) process. I think it would be helpful to organize this. In my post in another thread, I promised to write more about BLEACH baths in both Bellini C-41 and ECN2 kits...

I just received a reply from Filippo. He's a very kind and helpful guy. Just as @koraks wrote, Filippo apologized for the delay in responding and explained that I had asked a lot of technical questions that he had to consult with specialists. It's a busy shopping season and they're having...

You're absolutely right, but from @ScandiPhoto statement, I could conclude that he's in real-time contact with Bellini, meaning they respond to his inquiries quickly. Perhaps my attitude is negative. I need to work on that. 😀👍

Excuse me, how do you contact Bellini and how quickly do they respond? Forgive me for going off-topic, please. I sent them a message using the contact form on their website. I very politely inquired about the BLEACH baths from their C-41 and ECN2 kits. I asked if the BLEACH ECN2 bath is...

I usually read the manufacturer's instructions carefully and try to follow their recommendations exactly. However, in the case of this C-41 kit from Adox, I don't recommend following everything in the manual. First of all, they recommend rinsing for 30 seconds with warm water after developing...
