I have a C-41 question for all the lab rats out there. Fuji/Hunt recently changed their N-3 (fix) formulation. Basically they went with a more concentrated liquid in a smaller bottle requiring more water to make replenisher concentration. Within a few days our machines go out of control with rising contrast especially red. We then have trouble getting them to stay in control, high contrast red and high split being the biggest problems. Any thoughts on the matter? We have doubled the old replenishment rate and are mixing the replenisher with less water. How much does N-3 temp affect contrast? I've even spiked my developer slightly to get my LD up a touch to help split a bit. As I'm going on vacation next week I'd like to get the machine stable and consistently in control before I leave.
