I need to find Bleach

[kadir_kirisci]

<p>Hello,<br>

I recently started to develop my own C41 film, I made all the chemicals at home and they work pretty well except for the bleach I made.</p>

<p>this is the bleach formula I use<br>

<strong><em>Potassium Ferricyanide</em> 80gr</strong><br>

<strong><em>Potassium Bromide</em> 20 gr </strong><br>

<strong>and water to make it 1 liter.</strong><br>

---<br>

But my negatives are coming out with green or red dye on them.<br>

If I develop Fuji fujicolor/ superia or C series, negatives are Greenish, if i develop Ektar they come out in Red color.<br>

When I scan negatives as a image and transfer them to photoshop when I invert them, I get great colors. But I do not like the way my negatives look. <br>

<br />---<br>

I was wondering if there is any way I can buy bleach or even blix from a store?<br>

Or if anyone can provide me a formula that be great too.<br>

<br />There is an another formula I found online<br>

it contains Ferric Ammonium EDTA or Iron EDTA and i cannot find both that in art craft's website. </p>

<p>I wouldn't be so quick to blame the bleach. Check the PH of your fixer. It needs to be 6.5 or it throws the dyes off.</p>

<p>Next check the formula of your dev. It's important that the three (or more) dyes develop at the same rate. This is also where the temp becomes important.</p>

<p>After the developer, you must use a stop bath and wash before the bleach if you are using a ferricyanide bleach. Otherwise the bleach will oxidize the developer and stain the film. The stop is not necessary with standard C-41 bleach. I have used the above bleach formula for 3 minutes at 100F with good results, with the stop and wash, of course.</p>
