Adding New Chemistry
The following information is a guideline for mixing new chemistry for chemical tanks in the processor.
IMPORTANT: To avoid oxidation, do not use PRIME Developer or Bleach/Fix.
Developer: (FRESH START EKTACOLOR RA Developer RT)
1.Pour 8 litres of water in a 10 litre mixing bottle (bottle #1).
2.Follow the mixing instructions for parts A, B and C provided with the developer. Add water until you reach the 10 litres mark.
3.Transfer 2000 ml of the
4.Add 125 ml of developer starter to the mixing bottle (bottle #1).
5.Add water to the mixing bottle (bottle #1) until the mixture reaches the 10 litre mark.
6.Add the mixture to the developer tank.
7.Repeat steps 1 through 3. Use a separate bottle (bottle #3).
8.Transfer 6 litres of developer from bottle #3 to bottle #2.
9.Add 63 ml of developer starter to bottle #3.
10.Add 937 ml of water to bottle #3 and then stir the mixture gently.
11.Add the mixture to the developer tank.
NOTE: If the developer in the tank reaches the top of the overflow pipe before you finish adding all of the developer starter, save the remainder of the developer starter. Add the remaining developer starter to the developer tank when the processor begins to operate. Air is purged from the circulation lines and the level of developer in the developer tank drops. Discard any remaining developer starter.
Developer/Replenisher: (EKTACOLOR RA Developer/Replenisher RT)
1.Pour 8 litres of water in a 10 litre mixing bottle.
2.Follow the mixing instructions for parts A, B and C provided with the developer.
3.Add water until you reach the 10 litres and then stir the mixture gently.
Bleach Fix/Replenisher: (EKTACOLOR RA Bleach Fix/Replenisher)
1.Pour 5 litres of water in a 10 litre mixing bottle.
2.Follow the mixing instructions for parts A and B that are provided with the bleach fix.
3.Add water to the mixing bottle until the mixture reaches the 10 litre mark and stir the mixture gently.
4.Add the mixture to the bleach fix tank or to the replenisher.
