Seattle Film Works, Dale Labs and others were re-spooling EastmanColor 5254 and 5247 movie stock. It has a black anti-halation coating that is removed as part of the developing process. If you run it through a mini-lab it will ruin the chemistry, gunk up the rollers and probably ruin any other film that gets processed before anything is cleaned. It prints with a whole different filter pack as compared to other "common" color negative films.
