K-14 process

K -14 is the name given to the development process of the development of Kodak Kodachrome reversal films. The films do not contain color couplers; these are instead contained in three individual developer solutions with which the three color separations in three separate reverse development steps, twice each time after a post exposure, are built one by one.

The Kodachrome K40 - reversal film was for decades as the standard footage to work with Super - 8 film cameras. It was replaced by the new Kodak Ektachrome 64T material that can be developed in less time-consuming E-6 process.

The last remaining European Laboratory for K-14 Development in Lausanne, Switzerland, was shut down in the fall of 2006. Since then, the development only in the photo lab Dwayne 's Photo in the U.S. was the world possible, even Kodak itself could develop the submitted films there in order. On December 30, 2010, this last K-14 machine was taken at Dwayne 's out of order, because Kodak needed for the process chemicals for lack of demand no longer manufactures in worthwhile quantities since 2009.
