KODAK VISION Premier Color Print Film / 2393

• H-1-2393t 3
PROCESSING
Process thisfilm inProcess ECP-2B.No changein process
sequence is required.
Because thereis no rem-jetto remove, VISIONPremier
Color Print Film offers the potential for eliminating the
current prebath chemicals and reducing water usage.
However, exercise care if the rem-jet removal steps are
eliminated, as replenishment rates will change
dramatically if dry film enters the developer directly.
Soluble dye buildup in the seasoned developer will also
increase. Greatly reducing water flow will lead to
increased concentrations of total process effluent from the
laboratory, which may have regulatory implications. For
further assistance, contact your Kodak engineering
representative.
The antihalation dyes used in VISION Premier Color
Print Film are decolorized and removed during
processing. Although most of the dye is removed in the
developer, completeremoval is alsodependent on the“tail
end” solutions, such as the bleach.
To prevent static during projection, maintain a relative
humidity of 50 to 60 percent in the projection room.
It is important that you maintain a “clean” process:
proper solution mix and storage procedures to minimize
“tar” formation, process machine and recirculation
designed to minimize aeration (e.g., submerged racks),
periodic cleaning of racks and tanks, proper maintenance
of squeegees and wiper blades, and efficient filtration.

LABORATORY AIM DENSITY (LAD)
CONTROL METHOD
To control your process, use Process ECP-2 control strips
for this product available through your local sales
representative.
To aid in color timing and curve placement, negative
originals should be timed relative to the Laboratory Aim
Density (LAD) Control Film supplied by Eastman Kodak
Company. The LADControl Film provides both objective
sensitometric control and subjective verification of the
duplicating procedures used by the laboratory.
For print films, the LAD patch is printed to a neutral
gray of 1.0 visual density (1.00 Equivalent Neutral
Density) on the processed print at the setup lights.
The Status A densities are:

RECIPROCITY
You can print this film on a variety of printers, ranging
from slow step-optical printers to very high-speed
continuous contact printers used for release printing.
Exposure timesmay range from1/10 of asecond toalmost
1/3000 of a second, with little or no change in tone scale.
For printers that change exposure time during printing,
newspeed reciprocity correction should be used. KODAK
VISION Premier Color Print Film / 2393 has improved
fadeand dissolvecharacteristics. Printers withmechanical
fader cams will no longer need to use filter correction to
achieve neutral color balance with fades and dissolves.
Printers with programmable light valves will need to
reprogram the fade and dissolve algorithm in the printer to
obtain neutral color balance with fades and dissolves.
Consult the printer manufacturer for the proper test
procedure to obtain the appropriate corrections.
PRINTER CONDITIONS
Pictorial Printing
The printer setup for KODAK VISION Premier Color
Print Film / 2393 is similar to EASTMAN Color Print
Film 2386 / E / 3386 / E, with little or no change required.
For example,if you usean additive-type printer,such as
a Bell and Howell Printer, Model 6123, to print originals,
you can use a 90 V dc lamp, a KODAK WRATTEN
Gelatin Filter No. 2B, a KODAK Heat Absorbing Glass,
No. 2043, a printer speed of 240 feet per minute, and the
printer settings in the table below:
You can also expose this film with a subtractive printer
with a KODAK WRATTEN Gelatin Filter No. 2B, a
KODAK Heat Absorbing Glass, No. 2043, and suitable
color-balancing filters (KODAK WRATTEN Color
Compensating Filters).
