Fuji or Tetenal chemistry

[Sarah_J]

Hi,

I run a small minilab and am thinking about changing from Fuji chemistry to Tetenal purely for cost reasons. I am really happy with the Fuji chemistry and never had any problems, but the Tetenal chemistry is alot cheaper and has lower replenishment rates. Has anyone heard of any problems with Tetenal chemistry? Is it as good and reliable as the Fuji?


Thanks

you have an older machine where you mix the chems yourself? I didn't think Tetenal manufactured CN-16 or CP-48/49 cartridges.

Its a roller transport film processor using c-41 chemistry which I mix myself.

In my previous experience, Fuji chemistry was more like the original Kodak chemistry. There is also Trebla chemistry for C-41 processing.

Trebla chemistry used to be low price leader in C-41 and E-6 chemistry.

FWIW, the Trebla chemicals that others have mentioned can be purchased from Dead Link Removed I've never bought from them, but I've got them bookmarked.

Trebla is from CPAC and they have got two plants in Europe too (Flanders and Italy).
