Kodak 2210 manual Dimensional Stability

Rinse

Rinse at 65 to 75°F (18 to 24°C) with agitation.

KODAK Indicator Stop Bath	30 seconds
or diluted 4% acetic acid solution	30 seconds

Fix

Fix at 65 to 75°F (18 to 24°C) with frequent agitation.

KODAK Rapid Fixer*	3 to 5 minutes
KODAK Fixer	5 to 10 minutes
KODAFIX Solution	5 to 10 minutes

*Primary fixer recommendation.

Note: Fixer may exhaust more rapidly with this film than with other films. Use fresh fixer. If negatives show a magenta (pink) stain after fixing, the fixer may be near exhaustion or a longer fix time is needed. If the stain is slight, it will have no printing effect. If it is pronounced and irregular over the film surface, refix the film in fresh fixer. Another way to remove the dye stain is to bathe the film in KODAK Hypo Clearing Agent for 2 minutes at 65 to 75°F (18 to 24°C) and follow with a 5 minute wash.

Wash

Wash at 65 to 75°F (18 to 24°C) in running water for about 20 to 30 minutes.

Dry

Dry in a dust-free place.

Push Processing

Push-processing allows film to be exposed at higher exposure indices. However, it does not produce optimum quality. Prints show a slight loss of shadow detail and increase in graininess.

The processing times to produce a CI of 0.74 for 2-stop push-processing are given in the following tables. Use these percentages for development not covered by the following tables:

KODAK Developer	Increased Developer
	Time
T-MAX	+30%
T-MAX RS	+40%
HC-110 (Dil B)	+30%
D-76	+20%
D-76 (1:1)	+15%
MICRODOL-X (1:3)	+20%
DURAFLO RT	+20%

Note: MICRODOL-X Developer (full strength) is not recommended for push processing.

Large Tank Processing

Large tank (1/2- to 3 1/2-gallon) (Rolls), agitation at

1-minute intervals, in KODAK T-MAX RS Developer and Replenisher:

Exposure Index	Development Time (Minutes)
(EI)	68°F	70°F	72°F	75°F
	(20°C)	(20°C)	(22°C)	(24°C)
400/800	8 1/2	8	7 1/2	7*
1600	12	11	10	9*
3200	NR	NR	NR	12*

*Primary time/temperature recommendation. NR = Not Recommended.

Continuous Processing

Nominal development time, using KODAK DURAFLO RT Chemicals, to produce a Contrast Index of 0.56 at 26.5°C (80°F): 93 sec.

When processing this film in the KODAK VERSAMAT Film Processor, Model 11, Model 1140, Model 5, or Model 411, using KODAK DURAFLO RT Chemicals, use the following table.

KODAK	Contrast	Machine Speed Setting
VERSAMAT	Index	(feet per minute)
Models 11 and 1140		5.5 fpm
	0.56	(approximately 93 seconds
(two racks)
		development)
Models 5 and 411		2.6 fpm
	0.56	(approximately 92 seconds
(one rack)
		development)

DIMENSIONAL STABILITY

Dimensional stability is an all-inclusive term. In photography, it applies to size changes caused by changes in humidity and in temperature, and by processing and aging. The absence of solvent in ESTAR Base is one of the reasons why ESTAR Base films show excellent dimensional stability. The dimensional properties of ESTAR Base may vary slightly in different directions within a sheet; the differences that may exist, however, are not always equal in both the length and width directions.

Differences in size change between length and width should be within 10 percent of each other.
