KODAK PROFESSIONAL PLUS-X 125 Film / 125PX • F-4018 3
DARKROOM RECOMMENDATIONS
Handle unprocessed film in total darkness.
Using a safelight will affect your results. If absolutely
necessary, after development is half complete, you can use a
safelight equipped with a KODAK 3 Safelight Filter (dark
green) with a 15-watt bulb for a few seconds. Keep the
safelight at least 4 feet (1.2 metres) from the film. Run tests to
determine that safelight use gives acceptable results for your
application.
For information on safelight testing, see KODAK
Publication No. K-4, How Safe Is Your Safelight?
PROCESSING
These starting-point recommendations are intended to
produce negatives with a contrast appropriate for printing
with a diffusion enlarger. To print negatives with a condenser
enlarger, you may need to adjust the contrast by reducing your
development time. Tank development times shorter than
5 minutes may produce unsatisfactory uniformity.
MANUAL PROCESSING
Small-Tank Processing (8- or 16-ounce tank)
With small single- or double-reel tanks, 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 any 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.
Then repeat this agitation procedure at 30-second
intervals for the rest of the development time.
Large-Tank Processing (1/2- to 3 1/2-gallon
tank)—Rolls and Sheets
Agitate continuously for the first 15 to 30 seconds by raising
and lowering the basket, rack, or spindle 1/2-inch. Do not
agitate the basket, rack, or spindle 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.
135, 120, and 220 Rolls
*
With agitation at 30-second intervals. Development times shorter than 5 minutes may produce unsatisfactory results.
†
With manual agitation at 1-minute intervals. Development times shorter than 5 minutes may produce unsatisfactory results.
NR = Not Recommended.
Note: Use only KODAK HC-110 Developer (Dilution B) to process long rolls of PLUS-X Pan Film on spiral reels. Develop for 6
minutes at 68
°F (20°C) or 4 1/4 minutes at 75°F (24°C).
