KODAK PROFESSIONAL EKTAR 100 Film • E-4046 3
PROCESSING
Process EKTAR 100 Film in KODAK FLEXICOLOR
Chemicals for Process C-41 using the replenishment and
wash rates in the tables below. Note that the developer
replenishment rates are starting-point recommendations
only and may vary due to the amount of exposure to the
film, scene content, and the presence/absence of sprocket
holes.
Replenishment and Wash Rates
*
Rates are for first wash and a two-stage countercurrent final wash. Double
these rates for a single stage final wash.
JUDGING NEGATIVE EXPOSURES
You can check the exposure level with a suitable electronic
densitometer equipped with a filter such as a KODAK
WRATTEN Gelatin Filter No. 92 or the red filter for
Status M densitometry. Depending on the subject and the
light source used for exposure, a normally exposed and
processed color negative measured through the red filter
should have the approximate densities listed below.
Because of the extreme range in skin color, use these red
density values for a normally lit forehead only as a guide.
For best results, use a KODAK Gray Card (gray side).
