[1]Agitation in the developer and fixing bath should be by recirculation through submerged spray jets that impinge on the film strands.

[2]Develop to recommended control gamma of 2.4 to 2.6 (Status A). Calculation to obtain control gamma is Dmin + 0.95 density to + 0.50 log E.

[3]Countercurrent flow of fixer- laden water overflow from the wash tank, pH about 6.

[4]Many factors affect the drying: air temperature, relative humidity (RH); volume, rate and distribution of the airflow; final squeegeeing, etc.

SO-302 has a slightly higher wet load. Since processor dryer conditions vary, please monitor the film as it goes through the dryer the first time to assure that the film is being adequately dried. Adjust drier accordingly.

In a conventional convection-type drying cabinet with air at about 95°F (35°C) and 40 to 50 percent RH, drying will take 15 to 20 minutes. With an impingement type drying cabinet (with a higher temperature and lower RH), drying time is greatly reduced. With either type of dryer, the film should be dry without tackiness 1/2 to 2/3 of the way through. Upon cooling to room temperature after leaving the dryer, the film should be in equilibrium with the room air at approximately 50 percent RH.

Print film occasionally exhibits "static cling" during projection, where several laps of the film may stick together as they feed to the control arm on a platter, causing erratic platter behavior and possible film jam or "brain wrap". This behavior is affected by the design of the platter, the ambient conditions in the projection room, the winding orientation and curl of the film, and a variety of other factors. Kodak recommends maintaining a relative humidity of 50-60 percent RH in the projection room.

Staticide 3000G, a process additive available from ACL Staticide, may be added to the final wash (tank and replenisher) of the D97 Process at a concentration of 0.01% (0.1 ml per liter) to reduce the incidence of "static cling". Kodak testing and trade experience have shown that films having a process -surviving conductive anti-static backings will be much less
