I have been using Bessler chemicals and Kodak paper
to make prints from color 35 mm negatives.  I have
been sending the film out for processing and I
make selected prints.  I have been using drums for
processing and I average a print every 15 to 25 minutes.
Most of the time is involved with the chemical
processing, washing drums and drying.  I bought
my equipment before Etaflex was available.  I would
like to speed up the process.  Does anybody know
or have experience with color print processors
under $500.  Any experience with PAR COLOR
or Unicolor chemicals?  What do you recommend
for a fine grain color negative film.  I have been
using Kodacolor 100 and 400.  AT 8 by 10 I get
a very sharp picture.  At 11 by 14, I start to lose
detail.
