AG, just to be clear, are you saying that *typical* C41 processing doesn't
sufficiently wash XP2? Or that it's *always* necessary to do so after
getting it back from the lab?
Any idea if that is true of the other chromogenic films? If so, the labs
really ought to have a separate program for them.
TIA!/ScottGee1
