Question about color film developing

I am looking for a Beseler universal color calculator, can anyone help. It is used to help get the color exposure correct when developing color prints.
Thank-you

Chris, if you are relatively new to color printing I think you will find that the very best tool for making good color prints is simply your eyes, a set of color viewing filters, and a relatively well corrected light source. Stay away from incandescent bulbs and the cool florescents, The daylight florescents are ok.You will find that once you nail down the basic filtration unique to your setup and technique, it will vary only a few cc from printing session to session. Even the variation among different film types and brands are now very slight because of industry standardization.
My basic filter pack is 45M + 105Y in a Beselar 67 with color head. Get your exposure perfect before you make "fine" color changes.
Good luck and happy printimg!!
