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!
