Cross processing in '1 hour' lab

No dumb questios, prints will be RA4 and you can scan pos or neg , without any problems.

Thanks for the replies. I use a pro lab for most of my slides but the local '1 hour' has done process only for me in the past and I was curious as to if they could do it so I can get an idea of the effect and didn't want to screw things up for them
Hope you don't mind another dumb question - if I want prints do Iuse RA 4 ? If I scan do I do it as a negative or positive film ? (told you they were dumb questions ).

Cheers ; Chris

If you process any conventional B&W film intended for a 68 deg F process in any color process at 100 F, the emulsion will strip off the film in the first step it touches that is at 100 F. unless the film is specially hardened for that temp.

If you can harden it for 100 F and persist in processing, then the image is totally bleached and then fixed in the tail end color process leaving a blank piece of film.

So, one of two things can happen to straight B&W film, but either one leaves blank support.

In the case where the film emulsion strips off the support, the processing solution in which this takes place is ruined. In the other case, where the emulsion remains on the film, none of the chemistry is affected.

What an informative place this is

X-pro at Asda

If you go to a branch of Asda that processes film in house they will do X-pro. Have a word with the person running the processor.
Asda also charge £1.50 for dev only, I get them to leave my negatives as a long roll so I can cut them into strips of six rather than four.
I havent tried Jessops but they charge a great deal more for there film processing but you do get a Free film
Wherever you go tell them you know that it is a E6 film and you do want it run through the C41 process.
Have fun.
