Rotary-Tube Processing—Sheets
*
The recommended standard dilution is 1:4.
†
We do not recommend using more dilute solutions of these developers than indicated in the table. Dilute developers require longer development times; they give slightly
higher film speed and a slight increase in graininess.
‡
Development times shorter than 5 minutes may produce unsatisfactory uniformity.
Note: Do not use KODAK T-MAX Developer to process sheet films.
NR = Not Recommended
Note: The development times in the table are suggested starting points.

FINAL STEPS
Rinse at 65 to 75°F(18 to 24°C) with agitation in KODAK
Indicator Stop Bath or running water for 30 seconds.
Fix at 65 to 75°F(18 to 24°C) for 3 to 5 minutes with
vigorous agitation in KODAK Rapid Fixer. Be sure to agitate
the film frequently during fixing.
Note: To keep fixing times as short as possible, we strongly
recommend using KODAK Rapid Fixer. If you use another
fixer, such as KODAK Fixer or KODAFIX Solution, fix for 5
to 10 minutes or twice the time it takes for the film to clear.
You can check the film for clearing after 3 minutes in
KODAK Rapid Fixer or 5 minutes in KODAK Fixer or
KODAFIX Solution.
Important
Your fixer will be exhausted more rapidly with these films
than with other films. If your negatives show a magenta
(pink) stain after fixing, your fixer may be near exhaustion,
or you may not have used a long enough time. If the stain
is slight, it will not affect image stability, negative contrast,
or printing times. You can remove a slight pink stain with
KODAK Hypo Clearing Agent. However, if the stain is
pronounced and irregular over the film surface, refix the
film in fresh fixer.
Wash for 20 to 30 minutes in running water at 65 to
75°F(18 to 24°C) with a flow rate that provides at least
one complete change of water in 5 minutes. You can wash
long rolls on the processing reel. To save time and
conserve water, use KODAK Hypo Clearing Agent.
Dry film in a dust-free place. To minimize drying marks,
treat the film with KODAK PHOTO-FLO Solution after
washing, or wipe the surface carefully with a KODAK
Photo Chamois or a soft viscose sponge.
