I have seen this on the Konica only. It helps most of these one hour labs who hire people with one hour of experience produce a decent print from various films be it color or B&W. However, after finding this and getting some good reference prints form some chromgenic B&W of both flavors I went back and the prior operator was gone and the new operator looked at me like I was talking Greek when I asked him if he used the key for the proper film (my B&W prints were magenta). He had no idea what I was talking about.
