[Frameworks] E6 processing

[Amanda Thomson]

Hi Esher & l'Etna!  (..and everyone else on the thread)

I don't know Derek, so can't help you there, but I recently came across
this E6 Alternative from Robert Schaller in the REMI zine from a few years
back, I imagine you have one of them kicking around, pg 27.  I've attached
the image of it, but know that can be tricky, so will type it out too...

in total darkness:
-D-19 w/ Thiocyanate (2g/L)   ...6min @ 37C
-ECP2 Stop bath (kodak SB-14), or any b+w stop bath-- mix up a SEPARATE
solution used only as a b+w stop bath      .....1min

in normal room light:
Reexposure - pasing the film end-to-end 6 inches from a 500W bulb seems
adequate
-ECP2 Developer (kodak SD-50)    ....3min @ 36.7C
-water rinse      ....1min
-Ferricyanide Bleach (kodak SR-27) --the temperature is important, or it
won't work!      ....5min @ 37C
-water rinse --a thorough rinse is important here!      ....1+min
-Fixer (kodak F-35c or equivalent: must be a non-acid, non-hardening
fixer!)    ....3 - 5min
-running water rinse     .....5min

I hope this is helpful!  I'm no chemist, only the messenger :). But maybe
Robert's reading, if there are questions?

Warmly,
Amanda
