At first I thought I had done something stupid also, so I tried again,
same thing. Just a bit of background... I have been processing color
since '79 and am quite familiar with the processes. I have a 16" RA-4 RT
processor and do custom and rush work commercialy. I found a local shop
that can refinish rollers and make new ones reasonably and since B&W work
is fairly slow now, the Ektagraphic B&W machine has been torn down for
much needed maintenance.
The chemistry- NeoColor C-41
The film- 3M E-6 Color Slide 400 and T-640
The process- 3 minutes in developer at 100 deg F
1 minute rinse in clear 100 deg water
6 minutes blix
3 minutes wash in running water
The results is what appears to be a normal negative with higher contrast.
They print nicely with sharp contrast and grain, it is really colorfull
and punchy. I would like to have a mostly clear base for screen
projection of these false color images.
