I'm so interested in the ECN-2 process but so afraid of the RemJet. Thanks for making this video!!
You’re welcome Alan! Glad it helped you out!
After a few rolls you’ll find that remjet is quite easy to remove!
Just a rinse in prebath before developing and then a wipe down before your final rinse and you’ll be remjet free! Easy peasy!
Thanks for checking out the video! 😎👍🏻

Does that mean I don't have to wipe it before developing, or I still rinse and remove the remjet before developing like shown in the video?
@@alanmok8783Your workflow will look like this:
Load your film onto a reel and place inside the dev tank inside a dark bag.
Prebath: Pour into tank for 30 seconds > Rinse until water runs clear (fill tank with water, shake 30 seconds, dump water, repeat until rinse water is clear)
Developer > Stop Bath > Rinse> Bleach > Rinse > Fix > Rinse > Wipe Film > Respool > Stabilizer
After the fixer rinse, you can pull the film off the reel and wipe the film. I recommend wetting the wipe first, this’ll keep the film wet and keep the wipe from sticking to the film.
I wipe the film gently until no more remjet residue appears on the wipe. I do two additional wipes just to make sure I got it all.
At this point you can carefully respool the film and dip in the stabilizer bath. (I choose not to do this {I’m not sure how this’ll affect long term negative storage, so if you choose not to use stabilizer, do so at your own risk!})
Hopefully this helps! If you have any other questions let me know! 😎👍🏻
@@alanmok8783 Also: if you check out the end of my “How to Develop C41” video, you can see how I wipe the film. I use the same process for wiping off residual remjet. 😎👍🏻
@@1331photo Thanks for your detailed explanation!!
I have never done either ECN development or C41 development yet but I intend to get into them.
Thanks for the useful information and videos! 😊👍
so this is a pre-bath? i.e. spool up the film and put in the tank. pour in the required amount, let sit for X time, then pour out. is it reusable or is it one and done?
ECN-2 is for Kodak movie film stock i take it. not the same as E-6 process correct?
ive only ever machine processed C-41 or E-6. hand developed 100s of rolls of black and white but no the others (by hand). thanks
You’re right on the money! 😎👍🏻
This is the prebath ECN2 film is rinsed in to remove the carbon backing before developing. And yes, ECN2 is movie film, and a different process than E-6 😎👍🏻
I pour it into the tank first before any water, gently agitate for 30 seconds, pour back into the container and rinse the film until the water comes out clear.
I kept this prebath in a container that wasn’t air tight, and it lasted all of 2023. I used on about 25ish rolls. I mixed up a fresh batch in January for 2024.
I envy your machine processing - developing by hand is doable, but very time consuming! (If you let too many rolls get backed up! 😂)
Thanks for watching the video and for leaving a comment! 😎👍🏻
