Processing Cartridge 111
CONVERTING TO THE KODAK EKTACOLOR
PROCESSING CARTRIDGE 111
To convert to the KODAK EKTACOLOR Processing
Cartridge 111, simply load the cartridge, and let it mix as
usual on top of existing solutions. Use KODAK Rinse
Tablets in the same way as FUJI FSC100 Super
Conditioner Tablets. If you are converting from a FUJI
CP-48S, CP-48HV, or CP-49E Processing Cartridge that
processes 111 square metres of paper, then no processor
adjustments are required to use the EKTACOLOR
Processing Cartridge 111. Use the same replenisher and
other software settings as for your previous chemical
cartridge. However, if you are converting from a FUJI
CP-48LR, or CP-49ELR Processing Cartridge, you will
need to adjust the replenishment rates for the Developer
Replenisher and Bleach-Fix Replenisher to the rates
listed in the following illustrations (Figures 1, 2, and 3).
At the time of the conversion from other chemicals to
the KODAK EKTACOLOR Processing Cartridge 111, you
may encounter process control biases using KODAK
Control Strips and the aims described on page 7. For
example, the LD may be low by as much as –0.10.
This bias is explained by slight differences in the
formulations of the previous product and the
EKTACOLOR Processing Cartridge 111. As the KODAK
Chemicals and Paper season into the processor, the low
plots will recover closer to the aim values. The printer
will calibrate to follow the process shift, and there will
be no impact on the picture quality. Depending on the
rate of chemical use, it may take several weeks for the
full impact of the shift.
For smaller models of FUJI and NORITSU Digital
Minilabs, such as the FRONTIER 330 or the NORITSU
3501/3502F, it will take approximately 6 cartridges to
fully season the tank solutions with KODAK Chemicals
and Paper. For models with larger tank sizes, such as
FRONTIER 390 Digital Minilab, it may take up to
30 cartridges to fully season these..
When your processor needs a new cartridge, simply
mount the EKTACOLOR Processing Cartridge 111 on the
machine, and let it mix as usual. Use KODAK Rinse
Tablets in the same way as FUJI FSC100 Super
Conditioner Tablets.
