Table 2 describes the mixing procedure for the working tank solutions in the processor. The specifications for product, process time, process temperature and replenishment rates are described in Table 3. For best results, use the recommended times with crossover times of 6 seconds or less. Stabilizer replenishment rates are for 3-tanks with countercurrent flow. With multiple tanks, the recirculation rate should be the same in each tank.
Good agitation is important during the first few seconds of the developer and bleach-fix steps.
If initial agitation is poor in the developer, development may be uneven. This problem can be aggravated by excessive developer carryover into the bleach-fix. Filtration Processing solutions and wash water may contain some insoluble materials. If you don't filter out these materials, they can stick to the paper, tank walls, rollers, and lines, and possibly damage the paper. Use the filters designed for your processor and recommended by the manufacturer.
