Effects of Mechanical and Chemical Variations

Figures 4 through 13 illustrate some of the major photographic effects of mechanical and chemical variations on KODAK VISION2 Color Negative Control Strips exposed on 5217 Film compared to the former VISION Control Strips exposed on 5274 Film. Each plot shows the effect of a change in a process variable (horizontal axis), on the dye density of the processed film (vertical axis). These density plots are deviated against the standard level for each variable (e.g. standard level for the variable is represented by zero density).

The magnitude of the changes shown in these plots should not be considered to be process control limits. Also, the data presented are qualitative, not quantitative. The plots were derived from experiments using small laboratory machines in which all constituents were held constant except the variable being studied. Hence, the figures should be used only as trend charts and guides. If two or more process variable are changed, the resulting photographic effect illustrated may not be additive. Interactions can occur that produce effects other than those predicted by addition. The plots in this publication are representative only; they do not contain all possible solution problems. Most of the important photographic effects take place in the developer.
