I would note here, as a warning, to anyone who is considering using
Kodak Professional Copy (4125) for critical applications that it does
not age well. Pay close attention to the expiration date on the box
and keep it in the fridge/freezer. I spent several days pulling my
hair out with an outdated box trying to get it to perform properly. A
fresh box solved the problem immediately. It does not pay to be penny
wise and pound foolish with this film - just a little friendly advice.
