Quoting Nick Zentena <zentena@xxxxxxxxxxxx>: > > Is stablizer needed with RA-4? Needed? No.. but it improves the whites as well as extends the life of prints and reduces the demands on water washing--- in fact one can use these superstabilizers instead of water to wash (that's what the NP means as in "no plumbing" or without water). The RA-4 process, in contrast to E-6 and C-41, was, I think, initially designed without a stabilization bath but there seem to be no advantages to not using one (not even cost). These superstabs have low replenishment rates and are highly concentrated... a little bit goes a long way (100 litres worth costs, I think, under 25 EURO).. so far that I'm still working on a jug of Tetenal (and who knows when I'll ever get around to using some of the Champion RA-4 Rinse I picked up on a lark). -- -- Edward C.
