ENTMERE PAN 400 Technical Information

DEVELOPMENT TIMES

The table below gives development times for both manual and machine processing KENTMERE PAN 400.

These times will produce negatives of average contrast suitable for printing in all enlargers. The development

times are intended as a guide and may be altered if a different result is needed.

For manual processing in spiral tanks and deep tanks, the development times are based on intermittent

agitation. Where continuous agitation is used for manual processing (as in a dish/tray or with some types of

developing tank), reduce these times by up to 15%. For use in rotary processors without a pre-rinse, reduce the

spiral tank development times by up to15%. A pre-rinse is not recommended as it can lead to uneven

processing.

Note. Development times may need adjusting to suit individual processing systems and working practices. If an

established system is producing good results, adjust the recommended development times until the desired

contrast level is obtained. Development times for some other manufacturers’ developers are included for your

convenience and are only a general guide. Other manufacturers can and do change their product

specifications from time to time, and the development times may change as a result.
