Tetenal C41 kit re-born?

This looks great. Adox has a terrific production facility for blending and packaging chemistry. Terrific packaging, great product. Definitely Well Done!
 
Any news about the C-41 tabs that they were developing?

We just passed QC on the first batch. We are still waiting for the outer packaging and the high quality oxygen barrier bottles at this point. But we are actually ahead of schedule ;-)

Excellent news ... fingers crossed!
 
Oh I thought my tetanal said monobath. How do you like them? Do they keep well once you open concentrates and decant into smaller bottles?
 
Adox has a monopart RA-4 developer. It's bundled with blix though.

I don't know who buys RA-4 chemistry at 30 EUR per 2L of working chemistry when you can get Fuji stuff at less than one tenth of that price...

I have MP160 that I mixed into full HDPE bottles at the end of 2022 and it is still going strong with no signs of oxidation (pale yellow colour, normal contrast, deep blacks). I'd suggest using wine bladders or fresh (as in not used before for anything else) HDPE bottles. MP160 is so cheap, that I consider switching from replenished system to new developer for every session. Oh, I use it in a roller transport machine (Thermaphot ACP302).
 

Professional RA4 chemistry is pretty inexpensive, the best choice a for the dedicated printer. I use MP60 and I keep the concentrate into full glass botles, it takes me over 2-3 years to finish a batch with no issues from beggining to end. I keep C41 as working solution also in glass botles, and RA4 concentrate seems to keep slightly better than C41 working solution attending to color. After a couple of years I see no changes in RA4 concentrate, some darkening in C41 working solution.

I also use MP60 and I'm surprised with the keeping properties (I even keep the concentrate in original 2L bottles topped with Protectan).

Do you use it replenished or one-shot?
