Relative Exposure Index
Exposure Orientation System Pulsed-Xenon Tungsten or Quartz-Halogen
To emulsion ISO (ASA/DIN) 20/14 20/14
These indexes are provided primarily as indicators of the relative speed of this film when compared with
other Kodak graphic arts photographic materials. The pulsed-xenon value indicates the film's relative
speed to pulsed-xenon illumination as measured by a light integrator. Index numbers for the other light
sources can be used with photoelectric exposure meters to help establish trial exposures. A 2-times
film-speed increase is indicated in the ASA system by doubling the index number and in the DIN system
by increasing the number by 3.
Examples of Camera Exposures
• Line Exposure: For a same-size (1:1) line reproduction exposing with four 1500-watt pulsed-xenon
lamps at 3 feet (0.9 metre) from the center of the copyboard, use a trial exposure of 8 seconds at f/22.
• Halftone Exposure: Make a trial exposure using a contact screen suitable for use with Kodak Camera
2000 films.
Example of Contact Exposure
Exposing with a variable voltage point-source lamp operated at 16 volts at a distance of 5 feet (1.5
metres) from the exposure plane—approximately 4 footcandles (43 lumens/square metre), use a trial
exposure of 6 to 11 seconds (with a 1.0 neutral density filter), to the emulsion.
Filter Factors
When a filter is used, multiply the amount of unfiltered exposure by the filter factor shown below.
Because lighting conditions vary, these factors may require adjustments.
