Mechanized Processing

Notice: Observe precautionary information on products labels and on the Material Safety Data Sheets.

This film can be processed in equipment with mechanical switches or ultrasonic sensors. More details are available from your Kodak representative or distributor. The following recommendations provide a range of acceptable developer times and temperatures. Higher development temperatures require shorter development times. Generally, times and temperatures near the center of the specified range will produce optimum results for the product. However, criteria other than the development time may dictate the acceptable processing speed for any particular processor. Within the range given, a development time should be selected that will provide sufficient fixing, washing and drying of the product. Use Kodak RA 2000 developer and replenisher (1:4 dilution) at 85 - 105° F (30 - 40° C) and a development range of 20 - 45 seconds. Replenishment rates are included in the table below:

Average D-max Area

Basic Replenishment Rates

 

 

10%

0.12 – 0.15 mL/sq. in. (185 – 235 mL/sq. m)

 

 

20%

0.20 mL/sq. in. (310 mL/sq. m)

 

 

50%

0.30 mL/sq. in. (465 mL/sq. m)

 

 

80%

0.48 mL/sq. in. (745 mL/sq. m)

 

 

100%

0.60 mL/sq. in. (930 mL/sq. m)

 

 

The starting point recommendation for development is 30 seconds at 95° F (35° C). A 1:2 developer dilution ratio may be used when intermixing with Kodak Recording 2000 films. Use Kodak 3000 fixer and replenisher, part A (1:3 dilution). The basic replenisher rate is 0.35 mL/sq. in. (545 mL/sq. m). Part B (hardener) may be used at dilutions up to 1:40 (using diluted fixer) where film drying problems are being encountered, or where additional protection from post-process abrasions are required. For batch type processors where ready-to-use solutions are needed, Kodak RA 2001 developer and replenisher and Kodak RA 3001 fixer and replenisher are recommended. If utilization rate will provide at least one tank turnover per week, Kodak RA 2050 developer replenisher can be used with lower replenishment rates.

GAI, ESY, IRF, GIR specifications

Kodak is a name synonymous with imaging technology, with a rich history spanning over a century. In recent years, the company has focused on advancing its capabilities in various segments of the imaging market. Among its noteworthy innovations are the Kodak IRF, GIR, ESY, and GAI. Each of these systems showcases unique features and technologies tailored for distinct applications in the realm of imaging.

The Kodak IRF, or Infrared Imaging System, is designed specifically for applications requiring heat detection and thermal imaging. This system utilizes advanced infrared sensors to capture images that highlight temperature variations, making it ideal for industries like building inspections, electrical maintenance, and medical diagnostics. The IRF boasts high sensitivity and resolution, enabling users to pinpoint issues that may not be visible to the naked eye. Coupled with software for image analysis, the IRF empowers professionals to make informed decisions based on thermal assessments.

The Kodak GIR, or Graphic Imaging Resource, is another significant technology from Kodak. This system focuses on enhancing and optimizing image quality for printing and publishing. The GIR utilizes intelligent image processing algorithms that enhance color accuracy, contrast, and sharpness. This is particularly important for designers and publishers who rely on high-quality visuals. The combination of sophisticated software with state-of-the-art printing techniques allows GIR to produce stunning images that meet today's demanding visual standards.

Kodak's ESY, or Easy Share Your images solutions, simplifies the process of sharing and managing digital assets. With user-friendly interfaces and robust cloud integration, ESY allows photographers and videographers to easily store, edit, and share their work across multiple platforms. The system emphasizes accessibility, enabling creators to manage their portfolios efficiently while ensuring that their work reaches a wider audience.

Lastly, the Kodak GAI, or Graphic Arts Imaging system, is tailored for professional workflows in the graphic arts field. GAI incorporates cutting-edge printing technologies and materials that cater to the demands of commercial printing. Features include high-speed printing, energy efficiency, and enhanced color fidelity. With an emphasis on sustainability, the GAI system is designed to minimize waste while maximizing productivity.

In summary, Kodak's IRF, GIR, ESY, and GAI systems reflect the company's commitment to innovation in imaging technology. Each system addresses distinct needs within the industry, providing advanced solutions that enhance the quality, accessibility, and effectiveness of imaging processes across various applications. As Kodak continues to evolve, these technologies represent a significant step forward in the world of imaging.
