mendel_leisk Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 What's so special about dip-and-dunk? I know roughly how the process works, but are there any signif. advantages. I do know I used Custom Color (in Van.) and yup: it's dip-and-dunk, but scans of that film showed moderate dust amounts, the film was somewhat cupped (compared to 1-hour-photo flat-as-a-pancake), and there's the obligatory bow in one frame near the middle of the roll.

User_502260 Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 The bow in the middle could mean the roll was hung over some kind of bar. Theoretically dip and dunk processing avoids transport rollers and the dirt which can get trapped in them so there should be less scratching.

doug_axford1 Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 The bow is caused from the film (220 or 36 exp.) being too long for the tank and it is hung from both ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mendel_leisk Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Ah, that sounds more logical. I'd pictured it draped over a pole around the middle, but doesn't make much sense. Anyway, it seems to me the diligence of staff is at least as important as the method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john_castronovo Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Film flatness results from rolling the processed film on a core, which is something that happens as a matter of course for cine type processors. In the case of dip and dunk processors, the emulsion is draped over a pvc pole with the emulsion facing up and this causes the backwards bend in the middle. Both this and general curl can be removed by the lab by winding the film on a core and leaving it for a few hours before mounting it, but since dip and dunk processing allows for two hour service or less, customers don't wait for this to happen and labs usually don't do it. If the bend is severe, the dryer was probably too hot and dry. We have two such hanger processors and we learned to keep our temperature down as low as possible and the dryer box humidified as well. john c tech photo & imaging Q-Lab fairfield, nj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heather_stokes Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 HS Photo Processing,Inc. www.hsphoto.comAtlanta, Ga. Dip and Dunk Color (C-41) and B&W FilmUsually 120 films are not loaded on a rack that would cause a bow. It's in dealing with 220 films, 24 and 36 exposure rolls that cross hanging is necessary. The film doesn't sit directly on the cross over. The piece is hourglass shaped so that only there very edges of the film are touching. This allows for good chemistry circulation under the film as well. Heather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
