KODAK VISION Color Print Control Strips
Introduction
KODAK VISION Color Print Control Strips (Figure 1) are
intended for the control of Process ECP-2D using the
procedures described in KODAK Publication No. H-24,
Processing KODAK Motion Picture Films, Module 1,
Process Control.
The catalog numbers for KODAK VISION Color Print
Control Strips are CAT 156 1323 for 35 mm, and
CAT 820 8498 for 16 mm.

KODAK VISION Color Print Control Strips
KODAK VISION Color Print Control Strips, Process
ECP-2D, are packaged in 100-foot rolls containing at least
120 exposures and a processed reference strip. The
exposures on the roll are spaced at 9.5-inch intervals. Each
exposure has 21 gray-scale steps at 0.15 log H increments
(1/2 camera stop).
The reference strip accompanying each roll was exposed
along with all other control strips in the package; it was then
processed under specified well-controlled conditions. Keep
the reference strip at room temperature in its envelope to
help protect it from heat, light, and dirt.An instruction
sheet enclosed with the package contains process deviation
(correction) factors, if they are required, to determine your
laboratory process aim numbers. A four-digit code number
appearing on the carton, can, control strips, reference strips,
and instruction sheet, identifies each production batch of
strips.
Please be aware no two batches of control strips are
identical because of slight differences in product, exposures,
process, etc. And therefore, the aim value numbers will not
match (however, on rare occasions they could), even with
the application of the deviation factors. Beginning with
batch codes 6101 (35 mm) and 6102 (16 mm), you may
notice a shift in your aim values. IF you continue to be
satisfied with the way your images look, simply cross
over to the new aim values and continue processing as
you have.
