Important Improvements

KODAK VISION2 Color Negative Control Strips incorporate several important improvements into the control strips for Process ECN-2.

•A VISION2 emulsion is being used for process control. The new format is exposed on KODAK VISION2 200T Color Negative Film 5217, while the former ECN control strip was exposed on KODAK VISION 200T Color Negative Film 5274.

KODAK VISION2 Color Negative Control Strips, Process ECN-2, are packaged in 100-foot rolls containing at least 120 exposures and a processed reference strip. The exposures on the roll are spaced at 9.5-inch intervals. Each exposure has 21 gray-scale steps at 0.20 log H increments (2/3 camera stop).

The reference strip accompanying each roll was exposed along with all other control strips; it was then processed under specified well-controlled conditions. An instruction sheet enclosed with the package contains process deviation (correction) factors, if they are required, to determine your laboratory process aim numbers. A four-digit code number appearing on the carton, can, control strips, reference strips, and instruction sheet, identifies each production batch of strips.
