You are the first video i found about at home color printing, thank you so much!

The various streaks he got on his test prints seem to come from lack of an adequate volume of chemistry being used. The minimum amount required for each process sequence is determined by the physical design of the tank (which would be stated by its maker) and the rate of exhaustion of the chemistry (which is determined by the amount of print surface being processed), which is usually specified by the makers of the chemistry. You must use the larger volume of chemistry specified if the amounts differ between the manufacturers. Developer used in a drum is going to be exhausted in one process pass and cannot be reused. The blix can commonly be reused, but the practice is to pour the used blix back into the storage bottle to mix wit the fresh contents, then pull the amount needed for the next print. I think he said the he pulled 2 oz of blix and reused that same chemistry for successive prints. The bix would exhaust in a couple of prints at that rate and cause later prints to fail.

Hey man, thank you so much for making these great videos. I found this one on Reddit and I‘m super impressed with the quality and quantity of excellent videos you made so far. Please keep up the great work, I wish that more and more people find your channel to help you grow! You are amaz!

Thank you very much. I've been shooting b&w for many years but never tried my hand at color; I felt it was beyond my capacities somehow. Now I'm inspired, and grateful.

Really loved this video! Just picked up my first enlarger for free and seeing how diy your set up in compared to other videos I’ve seen where people use paper processing machines had me really excited to get my last couple parts to my set up and try it out myself, much love!

You deserve more views dude.

Awesome shots! Im just starting with printing since just scanning is not satisfying anymore. This video is inspiring.

Dude love your videos and your work...keep going man...

These vids are great. You’re making lockdown count 👊🏼

Had to laugh man when you squeegee’d on the shower screen, have my set up in the bathroom too! Yup, it’s zen time, tunes on, cup of tea and alone! I shoot and print black and white and am not set up for colour printing at all. Gonna watch some more of your videos, peace!

hey man, try wash it with water between develop and blix. it would get rid off the brown on the side of the paper. i use tray, not drum. cos always be some problem with the image when using drum, lines or brown side

Good stuff! Thanks for sharing your process.

Fantastic! I think It is very difficult to learn how to adjust the colors... but for perfect colors there is the digital and the inkjet printer. I love the unperfected color of the handmade analog printing.

Analog seems to be coming back full swing. Check if Nova still make their nice vertical processors for RA4. Tempered by two acquarium tubes that you fired through a timer programmed at lunchtime. Jobo had a great color analyzer (ColorLine2) that you would use to do the _"white balance"_ on the image edge or a blank frame and a timer counterpart which name I cannot remember now. Those two gadgets will save you €€€ in paper and time.

I really enjoyed this, thanks for showing us your workflow!

Wow! Just found your channel and subscribed immediately. Was just searching for information about building a darkroom at home.. I wasn’t quite sure if I should go through the trouble of setting up, but your enthusiasm convinced me! One reason for my reluctance was that the chemicals are toxic and I don’t unfortunately have a good dark ventilated spot in my bathroom...Are you generally worried about the toxicity of the chemicals? Thank you again! I’d love to support your channel with more than sharing your excellent videos!

Good video I am a photogrpher from ARGENTINA best regards

Are the chemicals still available today? Do you still make your own prints now? And if so what chemicals do you recommend for color prints? Thanks ribsy

Enjoyed seeing the process and way of thinking here. And then I thought, "What if I wanted to just 'automate' this for snapshots?" You know, basically print a roll onto 4x6's. Is there anything at all practical for doing that at home or is it strictly one neg at a time in the enlarger? I suppose you could print three 4x6 images on one 8x11 if you masked off parts of the paper each time.

Thank you for making this video! Subbed!

Absolutely loved this!! I've been chomping at the bit to do some colour printing!! You've really hit the nail on the head with this video!! Thank you :-) One question......... How did you know how much to adjust the different filters?

I am getting back into color printing - question: do you use same developer for tests and then switch to fresh. I remember something like the fresh developer gave a different color/contrast for the new print (through me off a bit). Thanks for the great succinct refresher vid.

Hello, I'm from china in japan, I've bought RA-4，Can't but C41 from here.Can you tell me RA-4 process to color negative film,please?development time and temperature(RA-4 to portra400 pro400). Thank you

Man I was surprised at how easy that looked. Am I right in thinking the dev time was only 45 seconds?

Hey Ribsy - thanks for doing these videos.. im also trying to buy a Jobo based on your process but cant find any info on what is required. Do you need a center core for your set up, or is it just the tank + a "light tight funnel" + the cap? I'm hesitant to buy one without knowing if I need a center core similar to developing film. Thanks in advance!

Is the dev the same chemicals used for developing negatives?

hey! it's me, from instagram- had the crazy amount of film (my film freezer died on me) been looking to shoot color for a while but struggling to find a color head for my beseler 45mxt.

How are the colours inverted from a negative to a positive? Great video, man.

Ya need some silk gloves. They don’t leave any lint behind and you can wash them. I use them for photographing fine Jewelery. Do it!

Hey man, thanks for this great video! I am looking into starting printing at home, do you recommend a certain type of enlarger? And is there a big difference if you want to develop medium format at home? Thanks!

Do you use the Adox Ra4 kit at room temperature? I tried doing this and have a magenta cast. Also on the borders(non exposed parts). Could this be because the blix is not at 35 deg, or is it due to an old batch of paper? Do you have any suggestions?

Lmao at in a white tee and sayin its hot in the bathroom

What make of chemicals do you use Ribs?

Hello ty for the vidéo. What is the temperature of your chemicals ? The same as usual for RA4 printing ?

Great vid! :D Have you ever thought about printing in colour using a black and white neg? :D Just an idea... :P

You won’t get accurate colors if you print in tungsten colored light. You need neutral daylight colors to evaluate colors.

Why does he keep saying “all right Charles”?

so many test prints... it is nice to print color by yourself in the darkroom but this must be kinda expensive hobby....
