KODAK FLEXICOLOR Developer Replenisher LORR

This developer has low replenishment rates that help reduce developer effluent discharge by as much as 50 percent. Lower replenishment rates mean less chemical mixing and lower cost per roll of film processed. Use only FLEXICOLOR Developer Starter LORR to prepare a fresh tank solution with FLEXICOLOR Developer Replenisher LORR.

Available in sizes to make 5 and 10 litres and 25 U.S. gallons (two 12.5-gallon sizes).

Available in a size to prepare 8.3 U.S. gallons of developer tank solution from developer replenisher.

KODAK FLEXICOLOR Bleach III NR Replenisher

For use in minilabs using Process C-41B or C-41, this bleach offers reduced cost per roll of film and reduced replenishment rates and volume of effluent discharged. It requires no mixing; it is packaged ready to use. Use FLEXICOLOR Bleach Starter to prepare a fresh tank solution.

Available in a 5-litre size.

Available in sizes to make 5 litres and 5 and 25 U.S. gallons.

KODAK FLEXICOLOR RA Fixer and Replenisher

This fixer is designed for use in minilabs that use Process C-41RA.

Available in sizes to make 5 and 10 litres.

KODAK FLEXICOLOR Final Rinse and Replenisher

This final rinse is designed with state-of-the-art surfactants to reduce deposits and drying marks on processed color negative films. It also reduces the potential for biological growth in the mixed solution. This means less maintenance and less frequent dumping of working tanks. Because the new final rinse contains no stabilizing agent, labs will not need to provide formaldehyde training or do the associated record keeping required by OSHA guidelines. You can use the final rinse in minilabs that operate with a wash or a washless cycle.

Note: Do not process films of older design that require a stabilizing agent for image stability. These films are

KODAK VERICOLOR III Film, VERICOLOR Slide Film / SO-279/5072, and VERICOLOR Print Film 4111. Process these films only in a processor that uses FLEXICOLOR Stabilizer III and Replenisher. Films of more recent design, such as KODAK GOLD, MAX, ROYAL GOLD, PROFESSIONAL PORTRA, PROFESSIONAL EKTAPRESS, and PROFESSIONAL SUPRA Films require no stabilization for image stability. They will have optimum image-stability performance when processed with FLEXICOLOR Final Rinse and Replenisher.

Available in sizes to make 5 and 10 litres and 12.5 and 75 U.S. gallons.
