Bob,

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it.

Actually, someone from DuPont is offering us their photo tooling product
which is the Cronalar PHC-7.  I don't mind evaluating this however it would
be somewhat difficult for me since I need to change the entire chemistry of
our developer machine to that of DuPont's.  I was told by DuPont however
that it would be possible to process the film using other manufacturer's
developer.  I don't have any idea as to what effects this might have on the
developer chemicals or the photo tools that's why I'm gathering all
information I can get.

Presently, we are using Kodak's ECU7 film series for contact printing with
their recommended chemistry which is RA2000 developer and RU4000 fixer.

Thanks Again!
