Kodak Data Sheets

This is a high-speed infrared film with moderately high contrast. It is useful for haze penetration and for special effects in commercial, architectural, and landscape photography. With development variations, you can use this film for scientific and medical photography and document copying. You can also use it for photomicrography and photomechanical applications. Infrared films are not sensitive only to infrared radiation; they are sensitive to ultraviolet radiation and to all wavelengths of visable light as well. However, they are not very sensitive to green light light. When you expose these films through a deep yellow or red filter, the filter blocks most of the ultraviolet radiation and blue and green light so that the image is formed mainly by red light and infrared radiation. Infrared-sensitive to approximately 900 nm; maximum sensitivity from 750 nm to 840 nm.

Kodak Plus-X Pan Professional is a medium-speed panchromatic film with very fine grain and high resolving power. It has a long toe in the exposure range normally used. This makes it suitable for low-flare conditions and provides good separation of highlight tones. This film is an excellent choice for general studio photography. You can retouch the base or the emulsion side.

This is a medium-speed panchromatic film that features extremely high sharpness, extremely fine grain, and very high resolving power. it allows a very high degree of enlargement and is especially useful for detailed subjects when you need maximum image quality. it is an excellent choice for outdoor photography or studio applications; for copying black-and-white photographs; for making black-and-white copies from color transparencies; and for photomicrography. you can also use this film to produce high-quality slides from continuous-tone photographs, drawings, artwork, and radiographs when you process it with the Kodak T-Max 100 Direct Positive Film Developing Outfit.

You can process KODAK Technical Pan Film/2415 (roll size) and 6415 in 8- or 16-ounce stainless-steel tanks or in 10-or 20-ounce plastic tanks. For best results follow these instructions even if they differ from those provided with your tank.

1. Fill the tank with developer adjusted to the desired temperature.
2. In total darkness drop the loaded film reel smoothly and without hesitation into the tank. Attach the top to the tank and turn on the lights.
3. Promptly dislodge any air bubbles from the film and reel by tapping the bottom of the tank firmly on the work surface.
4. Immediately agitate by shaking the tank very vigorously with an up-and-down motion for 2 seconds. Do not rotate the tank
5. Let the tank sit for 28 seconds, and then start the next 2-second agitation cycle.
6. Repeat this agitation procedure every 30 seconds for the remainder of the development time.

TO PREPARE A WORKING SOLUTION FOR TRAY PROCESSlNG SHEET FlLM:
When you use this developer to process KODAK Technical Pan Film /4415, prepare a working solution by emptying the contents of two units of concentrate into a suitable 1-quart container. Then add water at 68 to 77°F (20 to 25°C) to make one quart (32 fluid ounces [946 ml]) of solution. Stir until the developer is completely mixed. This dilution is one-half the working strength used for roll films. The capacity of this amount of solution is twelve 4 x 5-inch sheets. Do not reuse this solution for a second batch even if the first batch consisted of fewer than twelve sheets.

Tray Processing
Using the agitation procedure described below:
Presoak the film in water at 68°F (20°C) for 2½ minutes.
Develop at 68°F (20°C) for B minutes. Be sure the developer is at 68°F (20°C).
Rinse at 65 to 70°F (18 to 21°C) in stop bath for 15 to 30 seconds. Use running water for 30 seconds if no stop bath is available.
Fix at 65 to 70°F (18 to 21°C) in KODAK Rapid Fixer or KODAK Fixer for 2 to 4 minutes.
Wash in running water at 65 to 70°F (18 to 21 °C) for 5 to 10 minutes.
To save time and conserve water you can use KODAK Hypo Clearing Agent. Rinse the film in running water for 15 seconds. Next bathe the film in KODAK Hypo Clearing Agent solution for 1½ minutes with agitation. Then wash the film for 5 minutes in running water at 65 to 70°F (18 to 21°C), providing at least one change of water during this time.

AGlTATlON: Use the following agitation procedure for best processing uniformity. 1. Locate the code notch and identify the emulsion side of the film. Turn the first sheet so that the emulsion side is up and the code notch is in the upper right-hand corner. Place the sheet in the water presoak at 68°F (20°C). 2. Agitate the film for 5 seconds and place another sheet on top with the emulsion side up and the code notch in the lower left-hand corner . This allows you to identify the first sheet.) Repeat this step for the remaining sheets. 3. When all the sheets are in the presoak, begin timing for 2½ minutes. Agitate carefully by pulling the bottom sheet out every 5 seconds and placing it on top be sure to keep the stack immersed.
