You can process this plate in KODAK T-MAX RS Developer and Replenisher, KODAK XTOL Developer, KODAK HC-110 Developer (Dilution B), or KODAK Developer D-76. For ordering information, see a dealer who sells KODAK PROFESSIONAL Products.

QUICK REFERENCE TO PROCESSING KODAK T-MAX PROFESSIONAL FILMS

Before Processing

  • Make sure all hangers and reels are clean and dry before loading film.
  • Handle unprocessed film in total darkness.
  • Make sure all solution temperatures are close to the temperature of the developer (within ± 3°F [±1.7°C]).
Step Time Agitation and Notes
1. Developer See development tables. Small Tank (closed, cylindrical container that holds a single stack of spiral reels)--Drop the loaded film reel into the developer and attach the top to the tank. Firmly tap the tank on the top of the work surface to dislodge air bubbles. Provide initial agitation of 5 to 7 inversion cycles in 5 seconds, i.e., extend your arm and vigorously twist your wrist 180 degrees. If you can't invert the tank without spilling the developer, slide it back and forth in about a 10-inch arc for the same length of time.

Large Tank (open rectangular container usually used for sheet or roll films)--Tap the basket, rack, or spindle against the top of the tank to dislodge air bubbles. Then agitate continuously for the first 15 to 30 seconds by raising and lower the basket, rack, or spindle 1/2 inch. Do not agitiate for the remainder of the first minute. Then agitate once per minute by lifting the basket, rack, or spindle out of the developer, tilting it approximately 30 degrees, draining it for 5 to 10 seconds, and reimmersing it. Alternate the direction of tilting the basket, rack, or spindle.
2. Stop Bath 30 seconds Agitate continuously.
3. Fixer Fix for 3 to 5 minutes in 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 (lose its milky appearance). You can check the film for clearing after 3 minutes with KODAK Rapid Fixer or 5 minutes with KODAK Fixer or KODAFIX Solution. Agitate continuously for the first 30 seconds and at 30-second intervals after that.
4. Rinse 30 seconds Rinse the film in the tank under running water.
5. Hypo Clearing Agent 1 to 2 minutes Agitate continuously for the first 30 seconds and then at 30-second intervals.
6. Wash 5 minutes Run the wash water at least fast enough to provide a complete change of water in the container in 5 minutes. For rapid washing in a small tank, fill the tank to overflowing with fresh water and then dump it all out. Repeat this cycle 10 times.
7. Wetting Agent 30 seconds Provide gentle agitation for 5 seconds of the total time. To reduce drying scum, mix KODAK PHOTO-FLO Solution with distilled water in areas that have hard water.
8. Dry As necessary Hang film in a clean, dust-free place.
9. After Processing Wash and dry all the equipment that came in contact with chemical solutions. When thoroughly dry, store negatives in sleeves or envelopes away from dust and extreme temperature and humidity.
