Quoting Peter De Smidt <pdesmidt@xxxxxxx>:
I've just started developing Ilford XP-2 Super at home using Kodak's
C-41 Flexicolor chemistry in my Jobo. So far, so good, but it's
expensive, especially the bleach. Does anyone have a good formula for
C-41 bleach?
Ferric ammonium EDTA is the main chemical in bleach and its NOT cheap.
The bleach you can't make cheaper than purchasing it ready-mixed from
Calbe, Agfa, Tetenal, Fuji-Hunt, Kodak or Champion. Are you using the
individual bleach (which has a very large capacity and can be extended
by airation) or have you been using bleach-fixes (BLIX)?
JD Fotochem sells 50% Ferric ammonium EDTA for $19/liter.
At the moment, I'm using Kodak's Flexicolor Bleach III, and I'm using a
seperate fix bath. Kodak recommends that all the chemicals be used
one-shot in a Jobo. Is this really true for the bleach and fix? (At the
moment I'm using 500ml of each solution to do 2 -120 rolls of film.).
