Hi guys,
I've been reading up on processing C41 8x10 at home and still have some quesitons I cannot find answers for. So thank you for helping:
My quesions are:
when using a Jobo 3005
a) what is the minimal amount of developer one should use when developing 2-3 sheets of 8x10 to insure even development?
b) when using the uniroller setup without a temparature controlled bath of a dedicated processor - will the temperature stay stable enough during the rotation process? Since developing temps. are so critical in C-41, I would imagine that temperature drops while agitating at room temperature which is below the chemical's temperature at the time they get filled in the expert drum? Or is this a non-issue if at the beginning of the agitation process und the uniroller the temperature is perfect?
c) What is the easiest way to get the chemicals to exactly 102 degrees?
d) what part of the tetenal chemicals are reusable? I read everything 2-4 times, but someone told me it is advisable to always use new developer?
Thank you for your help in claryfing these points to me!
Kind regards
Paul
