A couple of (hopefully) simple E6 Jobo questions:
When I purchased my 10 x 8 Deardorff included in the package was a box of 50 sheets Fuji Velvia 100. Before putting it into the freezer I loaded up 3 Film holders. I have a sudden urge to expose these pointing the camera at 'Autumn Colours'. I will be processing these myself in a Jobo CPP 4111 using a couple of 4531 drums. I will be using a Tetenal 3 bath Kit probably mixing up the complete 1 litre kit.
How much chemistry should I use (for two 10 x 8 sheets at a time)?
Should I pre-soak? and if so for approximately how long?
After the first developer how long should I wash and with how much water and changes?
After the second developer how long should I wash and with how much water and changes?
I have used the processor to process 10 x 8 Monochrome and have had good results but I found when I empty the stop bath the solution is somewhat discoloured with the Pyro developer indicating developer carry over. Even when I used a 200ml wash for about 30 seconds before the stop I got some slight discolouration.
I have processed E6 before but it was around 30 years ago - I don't remember having to pre-wash/soak. But that was with 6-bath Kodak E6.
Hope you can help
