4 KODAK AEROCOLOR III Negative Film 2444 • AS-116
C-41 Processing Cycle
*
If you increase the bleach and fixer times to 6:30 or longer, you can
extend the temperature range to 75 to 105°F (24 to 41°C).
†
In some processors, a lower wash-water temperature may affect solution
temperatures in adjacent tanks. Longer warm-up times may be needed.
If it affects developer temperature during processing, you may need to
use a higher wash-water temperature.
‡
Rates are for first wash and a two-stage countercurrent final wash.
Double these rates for a single-stage final wash.
§
Use a two-stage (two-tank) countercurrent fixer, preferably with the
same time in each tank. Agitation and filtration in each tank are required.
If your processor has a single fixer tank, using in-line electrolytic
desilvering will decrease the safety factor for adequate fixing.
¶
If your squeegees are efficient enough to maintain a low fixer carryover,
you can reduce the wash time to 2:10.
For additional information using Process C-41, see
KODAK Publication Z-131, Process C-41 using KODAK
FLEXICOLOR Chemicals.
Development Options to Achieve Various
Contrasts
Adjust developer time/temperature per the table below to
achieve a variety of contrasts. When changing processor
transport speeds, be sure to adjust replenishment flow rates
accordingly, to maintain desired basic replenishment rates.
*
Film must be completely immersed in developer. Includes immersion
time and transfer time to the next tank. Keep transfer time to 20 seconds
or less.
Note: Based on a 3-tank developer system in a Model 1611
or 1811 Processor, 2:56 = 4.2 fpm and 2:17 = 5.4 fpm.

REWIND PROCESSING
Note: This is not a primary recommendation.
KODAK AEROCOLOR III Negative Film 2444 yields
optimum results with modern, high-temperature,
continuous-processing machines. It can be processed in
rewind equipment, although this method is not a primary
processing recommendation. Eastman Kodak Company no
longer offers packaged chemicals for such processing.
Customers wishing to use rewind equipment such as the
Gordon/Morse M-10 Developing Outfit (Military
Designator: B-5) may contact Aerial Imaging for
information on exposure, processing chemicals, process
cycles, and general recommendations.
PROCESS CONTROL
KODAK Control Strips, Process AN-6, are available and are
recommended for monitoring the processing of
AEROCOLOR III Film in roller-transport processors. For
detailed information on process control and troubleshooting,
refer to KODAK Publication Z-200, Using Processes AR-5
and AN-5 for KODAK Color Aerial Films.
