Tetenal Monoline C-41 CD S is a colour developer starter for a C-41 machine line, 1 litre.

What it is for

A starter commissions the processor tank, bringing fresh developer to the state it holds in steady replenished running. Without it the first films through new chemistry would come out shifted in density and colour.

How to dilute it

Storage

Sealed concentrate keeps well but dislikes air: the emptier the bottle, the faster it oxidises. Decant the remainder into a smaller bottle, or displace the air — that is what gets a concentrate to its last measure.

How it compares

A component of a replenished machine line, not tray chemistry for home. If you print in a tray, take the ADOX RA-4 or Kodak C-41 kit — self-contained and much cheaper.
