Fuji C-41 X-Press Kit (5 Liters) is designed for processing all types of color negative films that are compatible with the C-41 process. The Fujifilm Hunt chemicals are formulated to produce optimum quality in all types of mini-lab film processors that are not engineered to use cartridge replenishers. The chemical components have the same quality as those made for large color processors for development at industrial scale. The X-Press kit was originally made for press photographers for which time was crucial and could not wait on lab development of their rolls.

The kit is nowadays a perfect match for every professional photographer and analog enthusiast who want to process his or hers color films at the best quality possible. It can be used for tank processing of sheet films or spiral reels in reel tanks for 35mm and 120 films. If you're using a JOBO color processor, then these are the chemicals you are looking for.

The kit contains the following chemicals to prepare 5 liters of each solution:

  • Film X-Press Developer (Part A+B+C)

  • Film X-Press Bleach (One Bottle)

  • Film X-Press Fixer (One Bottle)

  • Film X-Press Stabilizer (One Bottle)

In contrary to the Tetenal Colortec kits, this kit has separate baths for bleaching and fixing.

This 5 liter kit is enough to process approximately the following capacities:

  • 80 rolls of 120 film - ISO 100-200

  • 72 rolls of 35mm film (36 exp.) - ISO 100-200

  • 72 rolls of 35mm film (36 exp.) - ISO 400-1600

  • 32 rolls of 120 film - ISO 400-1600

Regarding the shelf life of the different chemical components, you need to take into account the following rules of thumb:

  • Developers have a shelf life of 3 weeks once they are opened. If make sure that no oxygen is left in the bottle when you close it, the shelf life can be extended to 3 months. For that we strongly advice to use an anti-oxidizing spray like the well-known protectan of Tetenal.

  • Other components have a shelf life of several months once opened. Again, if you can prevent oxidization of the chemicals their shelf life will greatly improve.

The best C41 kit

A real C41 kit with separate bleach and fix. Compared to Compard kits the dilutions of the separate developer parts are a bit weird. I think the developer concentrate also goes bad faster than compard (which is some other fuji c41 variant). I got a shelf life of about 6-7 months before the concentrate changed color and went quickly into a murky brown.

I wish you could order just the developer separately. The bleach, fixer and final rinse have much more capacity than the developer.

Fuji Hunt ervaringen

Ik ben eerst begonnen met de Bellini C41 kit. Samen met het Cinestill verwarmingselement lukt het prima daarmee heel snel films te ontwikkelen. Maar dat snelle is ook het nadeel, je moet in heel korte tijd de baden wisselen, en daar ging het mis. Door gehaast verkeerd teruggieten kon de hele kit weggegooid worden, na nog maar 4 films gedaan te hebben...
Toen las ik over Fuji Hunt, waar het proces veel langer duurt, maar dus wel beter te controleren is. Nadeel daarvan is de 5 liter, maar dat hoef je niet in 1 keer aan te maken. Ik maak nu steeds batches van 500ml aan, met behulp van een een injectiespuit, want je moet hele kleine hoeveelheden uit de flesjes halen (laat de seals op de flesjes en prik erdoorheen om er geen lucht bij te laten komen).
In 1 batch van 500ml kunnen 6 films ontwikkeld worden. En dat dus maal 10, waardoor dit ook een heel goedkope kit is.
De resultaten vind ik fraaier dan van Bellini, de kleurweergave (getest met Ektar en Portra400) heeft minder correctie nodig, en de film trekt veel minder stofjes aan. Een aanrader, dus !
Hier staan de tips voor de kleine hoeveelheden:
