Dumb E6 question - Are Velvia 100F and Provia 100F prcessed the same way?

[Peter Biggin]

I use predominantly Fuji Provia, but also use other Fuji E6 and find that the processing times are different. Fuji Provia needs a First Developer time of 7 minutes while other Fuji E6 I have tried needs 7 1/2 Minutes.

Kodak E6 that I have processed requires only 6 minutes.

My biggest problem is with the Blixing stage. I am Blixing for 6 1/2 minutes (I have increased this from the standard 6 minutes) but still find that the films are coming out slightly fogged. If I dry them and then drop them back in the blixing solution for 10-15 seconds and then rinse and dry again the prints are perfect... Has anyone had any similar problems?

That's Jobo claims.

I think the issues with mixing films is worries about it seasoning the chemicals.

Peter are you running control strips? I need to order some for C-41 to make sure I'm close to in spec. Anybody know how long control strips keep in the freezer?
