How to Push c41 film during the development process

[MingMingPhoto]

Hi, please don't ask why I wanna do it lol...

How much more (or less) time would I need to develop my c41 film for to push it one stop in kodak flexicolor chemistry? (Lorr)

Is there a percentage I can use since the machine I'm using (filmomat) isn't very common to the industry

Give or take +15% to +20% development time. Most manuals state +15% I think.

Take the time to search for PE's posts to learn a lot more from one of the people who worked on color films at Kodak.

3:15 development time for box speed.
3:45 for a one stop push.
4:15 for a two stop push.

The other way to do this (and the one that was used by Ballard Camera, the lab I took my color to when I lived in Seattle, prior to 2003) was to increase temperature by the equivalent amount. With a correction factor of 4% per degree F, you'd raise your process temperature by 3 degrees F to be equivalent to adding 30 seconds to the usual 3:15.

The advantage of this, for their setup, was that the leader card machine had a fixed process time and this was the only way to increase development. At the end of their work day, they'd raise the temp by this amount, run all the day's Push +1, increase another 3 degrees and run the Push +2, and if there was any Push +3 they'd raise the temp another 3 degrees for that. This way, the machine had all night to restabilize the temperature for the beginning of the next day's normal process. Down side was, if you wanted a push, you'd get your negatives and prints back the following day instead in an hour or so -- but it also allowed them to process push without a surcharge, because it was almost no extra effort for them.
