I've found that final wipe (with a pec-pad) is very critical. All the remjet never comes off. And you want to be careful that the remjet side doesn't touch the emulsion side before that final wipe. Remjet can get stuck in the emulsion, which is Not Good. Good video. ECN2 is not tough to do, and the results are great and cheap(er) - just a bit extra work.
I've used the Bellini c41 kit to play with Phoenix (I don't normally use much colour, so just go with lab processed). People do stress a bit about the temperature control, but the really critical bit is only for 3 minutes (IIRC), so I just filled our large sink, go that to 38, along with all the chems. Once everything was at temp I got started. Enough volume of water will keep that stable for 3 minutes without problems. Also, can Nik & Trick please pick up their Social Media game! They have such an awesome range of products, but get very little coverage. Their range of self-made B&W developers is just superb.
