Mixing Kodak Flexicolour C-41SM for hand tanks

[kingjab1]

Hello all,
I recently bought Processing Units F1 and F2 for Kodak Flexicolour C-41SM (the super concentrated chemicals for developing machines) in order to get around the price barriers for developing color film, seeing as B&W chemicals cost around 5 dollars per gallon but color chemicals cost around 40 dollars for the same volume.

I just wanted to know if people have done this before and had any concise dilutions for the chemicals. I was going to play around with what information I knew already but it would be pretty helpful if anyone knew exactly how to mix it for a hand tank.

Thanks!

It's quite long, but a very good read.

More directly to your question is post #3 on this thread:

Here is another thread to look through:

I've not tried any of this yet, so you may want to search APUG for confirmation that these things have worked well.

And if you want to use regular flexicolor, which is more economical, especially if replenished:

I buy and use the F2 unit. Use the bleach straight, mix the fixer 1+1 with water.
