Kodak now recommends using FLEXICOLOR SM chemistry for one-shot drum processing. The publication that shows this is
http://www.kodak.com/global/en/busin...?pq-path=12549. I believe the quantities are 10L bottles (I think) which is about 2.5 gallons.
All FLEXICOLOR SM chemistry is premixed so there is no mixing, and it has oxidations inhibitors in it for low utilization
I have had really good luck storing color developers in floating lid containers. I stored 13L of Kodak RA4 RT replenisher in a floating lid container for 8 months and had 1L left over, and it was still clear.
All FLEXICOLOR SM chemistry is premixed so there is no mixing, and it has oxidations inhibitors in it for low utilization which is similar to RA4 RT developer, so again, it should store well in a floating lid container. I still have tree Kodak one gallon kits for C-41, so I have not used the FLEXICOLOR SM chemistry yet. However, I may order some and make a characteristic curve (CC) using both chemistries to see if there are any differences. I then will store the remaining developer in a floating lid container and inspect it once a month and monitor any color changes that indicate oxidation. I will probably also make CCs for each month to more accurately determine how long the developer will last in a floating lid container.
You can get FLEXICOLOR SM from Denver Pro Photo. Their prices are not bad, but not as good as B&H. According to Kodak you can use the bleach twice without compromising its performance, but I would call Kodak about this because that was the bleach III one gallon mix. I do not know if that would work with the Bleach SM chemistry. Denver Pro Photo will ship anywhere, and their number is (866)-360-4940. Ask for Victor.
