*Inject EA-5 Stabilizer and Replenisher into tank 18 of the final wash at a

rate of 50 mL⁄min for all film widths.

†Set air-damper control knobs at 8. The dryer temperature may require adjustment depending on the ambient temperature and humidity conditions in the processing area.

Replenishment and Wash Rates (4.2 fpm):

Note: These rates have been rounded to the nearest usable increment.

Models 1611 and 1811 with Quick Change

	Basic		Film Width
Solution/Step	Rate	70 mm	5-in.	9 1/2-in.
	(mL/ft2)	(mL/min)	(mL/min)	(mL/min)
AN-6	110	105	195	365

Stop Bath	200	195	350	665
Wash		— 2 gal/min —
Bleach	90	90	160	300
Fixer	100	100	175	335
Final Wash†		— 2 gal/min —

*The required rates will vary with the average exposure level. Make an adjustment if the control strip density levels increase or decrease

substantially.

†Inject EA-5 Stabilizer and Replenisher into tank 16 (Model 1611) or tank 18 (Model 1811) of the final wash at a rate of 50 mL⁄min for all film widths. In the Model 1611, this wash flows countercurrent to tanks 15 and 14. In the Model 1811, this wash flows countercurrent to tank 17.

Bleach Regeneration

Regeneration of used EA-5 Bleach will reduce processing solution costs and substantially reduce the amount of bleach discarded to the sewer. Collection and treatment tanks for bleach overflow solution and chemical testing capability are required. A detailed laboratory procedure is available from Eastman Kodak Company.

C-41 Processing

This film may be processed in KODAK FLEXICOLOR Chemicals for Process C-41. To achieve results like Process AN-6, extend the development time to 5’15” at 100°F (38°C) with a basic replenishment rate of 94 mL⁄ft2. Shorter development times may be used to achieve lower contrast, if desired. Substitute AN-6 Developer using a developer time of 2’56” at 106°F (41°C) for increased productivity.

Note: Do not use KODAK FLEXICOLOR Developer LORR, as the low tank turnover would be insufficient to maintain proper chemical equilibrium and sensitometric control.
