Processing Sequence (4.2 fpm):
KODAK Aerial Color Processor, Model 1611
*
Inject EA-5 Stabilizer and Replenisher into tank 16 of the final wash at a
rate of 50 mL/min for all film widths.
KODAK EKTACHROME RT Processor, Model 1811,
Quick-Change
*
Inject EA-5 Stabilizer and Replenisher into tank 18 of the final wash at a
rate of 50 mL⁄min for all film widths.
†
Set air-damper control knobs at 8. The dryer temperature may require
adjustment depending on the ambient temperature and humidity
conditions in the processing area.

increment.
Models 1611 and 1811 with Quick Change
*
The required rates will vary with the average exposure level. Make an
adjustment if the control strip density levels increase or decrease
substantially.
†
Inject EA-5 Stabilizer and Replenisher into tank 16 (Model 1611) or tank
18 (Model 1811) of the final wash at a rate of 50 mL⁄min for all film
widths. In the Model 1611, this wash flows countercurrent to tanks 15
and 14. In the Model 1811, this wash flows countercurrent to tank 17.
Bleach Regeneration
Regeneration of used EA-5 Bleach will reduce processing
solution costs and substantially reduce the amount of bleach
discarded to the sewer. Collection and treatment tanks for
bleach overflow solution and chemical testing capability are
required. A detailed laboratory procedure is available from
Eastman Kodak Company.
C-41 Processing
This film may be processed in KODAK FLEXICOLOR
Chemicals for Process C-41. To achieve results like Process
AN-6, extend the development time to 5’15” at 100°F (38°C)
with a basic replenishment rate of 94 mL⁄ft
2
. Shorter
development times may be used to achieve lower contrast, if
desired. Substitute AN-6 Developer using a developer time
of 2’56” at 106°F (41°C) for increased productivity.
Note: Do not use KODAK FLEXICOLOR Developer
LORR, as the low tank turnover would be insufficient to
maintain proper chemical equilibrium and sensitometric
control.
