![]() That’s a lot of chemistry to mix and keep. In my reading on separate bleach and fixer, I had come across methodologies to use entirely Kodak Flexicolor chemistry, but the thing that held me back was you had to mix 5L of the developer at a time. Further, not using the blix meant that I was stockpiling blix chemistry packets. This proved to not be terribly sustainable as I found myself paying $20.99 for C-41 Developer that according to the instructions is only good for up to 8 rolls of 135mm at 36 exposures. I found that I could use Kodak Flexicolor bleach and fixer with the developer from the Film Photography Project kit. I began immediately to work on figuring out how to get a separate bleach and fixer so as to eliminate Blix from my process. As I shoot film with the intention of getting the most out of it, this bothered me. Blix was really designed for RA-4 and when you use it in C-41, it causes your images to lose shadow detail and highlights. After getting comfortable with this kit, I started reading about C-41 online and found out that Blix (very common in the kits) isn’t really the best stuff to use in the C-41 process. When I first got started doing C-41 at home, I used the Film Photography Project C-41 kit. ![]() ![]() This article will talk about how to do C-41 using Kodak’s Flexicolor kit! ![]() If you have a safe place to do this and are used to working with photo chemistry, being able to do C-41 (and E-6) are well within your reach. Developing color film at home is not as hard as some people make it out to be. ![]()
