Do you have provision for tempered water wash cycles? If you use Kodak Flexicolor process C-41RA like all C-41 processing Developer 3'15", Bleach (Process C-41 RA) is 1 minute, or longer if you prefer, followed by fixer, 2 minutes. Minilab machines run 3 consecutive stabilizer baths instead of a water wash. The method most folks at home use is several water wash cycles followed by Kodak Flexicolor Final rinse. The final rinse is a wetting agent with a biocide to preserve the gelatin of the finished negative. One single stabilizer bath without a wash step to get rid of the fixer is not adequate. Kodak specs the wash 2 min at 38°C , the non RA C-41 uses washing for 3 min 24-38°C
