KODAK VERICOLOR SLIDE FILM / 5072 (Rolls)

KOD AK VERICOLOR Slide Film is intended for producing same-size positive transparencies from color negati ves or for making reduced-size transparencies from larger negatives. You can use this film for professional and photofinishing applications with contact-printing or copying and duplicating equipment. You can also use this film to copy black-and-white line art to make reverse-text slides or crop negatives to make tighter composition on transparencies.

This film is coated on an acetate base, and is available in 35 mm x 100-foot rolls (5072 Film) and 135-36 rolls (SO-279 Film). You can mount it in standard 2 x 2-inch slide mounts or use it uncut as film strips.

STORAGE AND HANDLING

High temperatures or high humidities may produce undesirable changes in VERICOLOR Slide Film. Store unexposed film at 13°C(55°F) or lower in the original sealed package. To prevent condensation on film that has been refrigerated, allow the film to warm up to room temperature before you open the package.

Use the film as soon as possible after purchase, and before the expiration date. For consistent results, use the same handling procedures between exposure and processing. Keep exposed film cool and dry, and process it as soon as possible after exposure. If processing must be delayed, you can minimize changes in the latent image of KODAK VERICOLOR Slide Film by storing it in a moistureproof container and freezing it before processing. Allow the film to warm up to room temperature before you process it.

Store processed film at 21°C(70°F) or lower at a relative humidity below 50 percent. For information on long-term storage, see KODAK Publication No. E-30, Storage and

Care of KODAK Films and Papers—Before and After Processing.

Note: When you use KODAK VERICOLOR Slide Film for reverse-text slides, and exact color reproduction is not critical, you do not have to freeze the exposed film if you process it within 7 days.

DARKROOM RECOMMENDATIONS

Do not use a safelight. Handle unprocessed film in total darkness.

EXPOSURE

Equipment

Expose this film with optical- or contact-printing equipment. For large-scale production, you can use printers and copying equipment modified for production applications.

Use exposing equipment that has a tungsten-halogen (3200 K) light source, a heat-absorbing glass, an ultraviolet absorber (such as a KODAK WRATTEN Gelatin Filter No. 2B or a KODAK Color Printing Filter CP2B), and built-in dichroic filters.

Printing Color Negatives and Internegatives

KODAK VERICOLOR Slide Film is intended for exposure times of at the exposure plane to 16 footcandles (172 lux) without a negative or filters in the light beam. Use an initial exposure time between 1 and 4 seconds.

VERICOLOR Slide Film, use a starting filter pack of 20M + 30Y. Negatives made on daylight-balanced films exposed with tungsten light will require more yellow filtration.

VERICOLOR Slide Film. See the film carton for supplementary information on each emulsion. This information includes starting filter-pack and aperture adjustments. The aperture adjustment includes the exposure adjustment required for the filters.

internegatives from different types of transparency films, make tests to determine the best filter pack for printing internegatives onto KODAK VERICOLOR Slide Film. Start with a filter pack that produces successful results in printing original camera negatives and adjust filtration and exposure as required.

Making Reverse-Text Slides

You can use KODAK VERICOLOR Slide Film to produce reverse-text slides with white or near-white letters on a dark or colored background. To make a reverse-text slide, photograph dark letters on white background with color compensating filters over the lens. For backgrounds of various colors, use the filters and exposures given in the tables below.

and lens aperture for exposure, use an incident-light meter set at the exposure index indicated below. When you add the filters in front of the camera lens, increase the exposure as shown in the tables. Make an exposure series of at least ±1 stop in between 1 and 8 seconds.

Note: Reverse-text slides exposed with KODAK WRATTEN Gelatin Filters usually have more saturated colors than slides made with KODAK Color Compensating Filters.

PROCESSING

Process KODAK VERICOLOR Slide Film in KODAK FLEXICOLOR Chemicals for Process C-41. Do not process this film in washless minilab process cycles, i.e., Process C-41B and C-41RA. This film is of an older design that requires a stabilizing agent for image stability. Process this film only in a processor that uses KODAK FLEXICOLOR Stabilizer III and Replenisher.

For information on processing, see KODAK Publication

No. Z-131, Using KODAK FLEXICOLOR Chemicals.
