Without it I think it would be too difficult, since you really have to maintain the temperature within 0.5C of the required 38C. I use the Tetenal chemicals. With these and the Jobo, developing C41 is as easy as B&W. Nathan Jiri_Dvorak@idx.com wrote: > Nathan (or anybody who does it), > > tell me more about the home C41 developing.
