ENTMERE PAN 100 Technical Information
Fix
The recommended fixers are ILFORD RAPID
FIXER or ILFORD HYPAM FIXER.
Wash
Wash the films in running water for 5–10
minutes at a temperature within 5ºC (9ºF) of
the process temperature. Or see note below
for greater economy when using spiral tanks.
Note: For spiral tank use, the following method of washing is recommended. This method of washing is faster,
uses less water yet still gives negatives suitable for long term storage.
After fixing, fill the spiral tank with water at the same temperature, +/– 5ºC (9ºF), as the processing solutions
and invert it five times. Drain the water away and refill. Invert the tank ten times. Once more drain the water
away and refill. Finally, invert the tank twenty times and drain the water away.
Rinse
For a final rinse use ILFORD ILFOTOL wetting agent added to water, it helps the film to dry rapidly and evenly.
Start by using 5ml per litre of rinse water (1+200), however the amount of ILFOTOL used may need some
adjustment depending on the local water quality and drying method. Too little or too much wetting agent can
lead to uneven drying. Remove excess rinse solution from the film before drying.
Drying
To avoid drying marks, use a clean squeegee or chamois cloth to wipe KENTMERE PAN 100 film before
hanging it to dry. Dry KENTMERE PAN 100 at 30–40°C/86-104°F in a drying cabinet or at room temperature
in a clean dust-free area.
STORAGE
For immediate use, store KENTMERE PAN 100 in a cool (10–20°C/50-68°F), dry place in its original
packaging.
KENTMERE PAN 100 may be stored in a fridge/freezer but allow plenty of time for the film to acclimatise prior
to use.
Exposed film
Once exposed, process KENTMERE PAN 100 as soon as practical.
Exposed films should always be stored in cool, dry conditions - as recommended above.
Negatives
Store processed negatives in a cool (10–20°C/50-68°F), dry place, in the dark. Suitable storage sleeves
include those made of cellulose triacetate, Mylar, paper (pH6.5–7.5) or inert polyester.
