Substitute AN-6 Developer using a developer time of 3'00" at 90°F 

(32.2°C) for increased productivity. 


Note: Do not use KODAK FLEXICOLOR Developer LORR, as the low tank 

turnover would be insufficient to maintain proper chemical equilibrium 

and sensitometric control. 

  

All Dutch to me, help!! :)

Ok, basically it means:

Normal C-41 development is 3:15 at 100°F.  Each 3-4° is about one stop, so 
normal development at a typical photo lab will be a little push process.  I 
don;t see this as a problem, well at least not big enough of a problem to 
fight to find a lab willing to adjust their C-41 line.

The main reason that the LORR, or high speed bleach/Fix C-41 is not suggested 
is probably because the film has a a lot of Formadahyde by todays film 
standards.  Kodak VPL was another film that was suggested to be used in the 
longer C-41 process.  Anyway, the only probably that may arise from running a 
roll or two would be retained silver on the film.  Rebleaching and foxing 
will correct this and can be done even months after processing.  If your 
running 50 rolls a week in the the LORR chemistry then it may cause problems 
but not a few rolls.
