There is no danger of contamination from cross processing. All color films
contain similar materials and there is nothing in any film that would cause
harm to a process. If you did a lot of cross processing there may be a need
to adjust replishment rates to reflect the different silver metal/dye
formation ratios. If the total volume of crossed film is less than 15% of
the total load there will be no effect.
