Developer Fresh Tank Solution, Silver Recovery

Developer Fresh Tank Solution

To ensure good performance, take special care in mixing the developer tank solution. You should mix the developer replenisher in a separate mixing vessel from the one used for bleach-fix.

Stabilizer Fresh Tank Solution

Mix the working tank solution in each of the stabilizer tanks.

To prepare one litre of stabilizer tank solution, mix EKTACOLOR PRIME Stabilizer and Replenisher LORR (as directed on the product label), no further dilution is required.

Reinstalling the Racks and Bringing the Tank Solutions to Temperature

You should allow some space when filling the tanks, to allow for the volume of the racks. When you reinstall the racks in the tanks, the racks will displace more solution volume to fill the tanks.

Install the racks by slowly lowering them into the

tanks. When you have reinstalled all the racks and have verified that all the tanks are filled with solution, turn on the recirculation and heater system and bring the solutions up to operating temperature.

USING CONTROL STRIPS TO MONITOR THE PROCESS

Use KODAK Control Strips, Process RA-4 (box of 50, CAT No. 8282170), to monitor process performance. For instructions on processing control strips, see the operator’s manual for the KONICA Minilab. For information on the use and diagnostic features of the control strips, see KODAK Publication No. Z-130, Using KODAK EKTACOLOR Chemicals, Section 7, “Process Monitoring and Troubleshooting with KODAK Control Strips, Process RA-4.” KODAK Publications are described and available on the Kodak website at

www.Kodak.com/go/photochemicals.

To calculate control-strip aim values for process monitoring, you will need to apply process adjustment factors. Use the adjustment factors in addition to the correction factors that are supplied with the control strips.

After reading the densities of the supplied reference strip on your densitometer, first apply the “Prime” correction factors packaged with the reference strip. Then add the values from the following table. The corrected density values are the aim values for your batch of control strips. You will need to apply the adjustment factors each time you switch to a new batch of control strips.

Table 5. Process Adjustment Factors

Black (BP)	+0.07	+0.01	-0.05

High (HD)	+0.01	+0.07	-0.06

Low (LD)	-0.04	+0.05	-0.07

SILVER RECOVERY

When an effluent tank is full, the processor alerts you to drain the tank.

Typically, silver concentration in the bleach-fix effluent tank will be 4 to 8 g/L; silver concentration in the stabilizer effluent tank will be 0.2 to 0.6 g/L.

You can effectively use common silver-recovery methods with the combined effluents from both effluent tanks. If your lab has other processors, you can combine the effluent from the KONICA Minilab with the other effluent solutions and use your current silver-recovery methods.

Publications on silver management that include recommendations and descriptions of silver-recovery options are available in the Silver Management section of

the KODAK Product Safety, Recycling & Disposal Center, under “Chemicals” at www.Kodak.com/go/KES.
