Subject: Re: Lab For Color Film Processing
There are many labs here - almost too many to count - that use DnD. Your comment comes across as though you feel there's something wrong with the process. Is that the case?
Nothing really wrong with it, though like all processing methods, it is not without it's faults. One of the biggest faults is the amount of chemistry that is required to run a D&D machine. More chemistry in the tank means more film needs to be processed to keep the chemistry in balance. Film use is declining at the moment, and chemistry keeps getting more expsnsive. While D&D is not especially prone to physically damaging film, it is possible to get streaks as the chemistry runs down the film as it is lifted from the tank. I think rotary small tank processing is as good as good as D&D processing for reliability.
