Qualex (the name makes me giggle) was the Kodak labs spun off into a separate company that was owned by, tuh duh, Kodak! All the same kind of wall street crap that got us where we are today. The lab in Kansas City was really quite good at C41 process and print. But nobody could get the 20 points of magenta out of the Kodachrome. Hope Dwayne's had better luck.
