* Test method (using 3 mL sample) measures sulfite and bisulfite together as total sulfite (Na2SO3).

Fixer pH may decrease with certain operating conditions when electrolytically desilvering the fixer. If the fixer is not desi lvered or desilvered by the batch method, the replenisher pH should be 5.00 ± 0.015. Care should be taken to avoid fixer pH lower than 4.5 since lower fixer pH could cause sulfurization of the fixer.

To process a large quantity (more than one tank turnover) of VISION Premier Color Print Film, the normal replenishment flow rate of the fix may need to be increased by up to 30%.
