Special Treatment
Processing the film for longer than 3 minutes may affect image 
contrast and density to some extent. For optimum image stability 
at temperatures above 75°F (24°C), film should not be processed 
for longer than one (1) minute. At colder temperatures, process 
the film for a longer time as indicated in the chart below. A picture 
processed for too short a time will have dull grays, mottle and little 
contrast. However, if more contrast is required, the processing 
time may be extended by 15 seconds (for example, process for 
45 seconds rather than 30 seconds). This may increase the 
contrast and density, but may also result in some loss of gray.

Caution
This film uses a small amount of caustic paste. If any paste appears, avoid contact with skin, eyes and mouth 
and keep away from children and animals. If you get some paste on your skin, wipe it off immediately, then 
wash with water to avoid an alkali burn. If eye contact occurs, quickly wash the area with plenty of water and 
see a doctor. Keep discarded materials away from children, animals, clothing and furniture.

D-Min: The lowest density value that a film
exhibits. In prints, the whiteness of the brightest 
highlight, relative to the unprocessed print.
Slope: The positive ratio of the log E 
increments of the straight line region of the 
curve, as determined by the 1/4-3/4 increment 
method. The slope of an H&D curve indicates 
the overall contrast of a film: low contrast slopes 
less than 1.10; medium contrast slopes from
1.10 to 1.70; high contrast slopes greater than
1.70.

Reciprocity law failure
A wide range of shutter speeds can be used without loss of film speed. 
For longer exposure times, some exposure compensation is suggested.

Wavelength (nm)
Reciprocity: The ability of the film to respond in a 
constant manner to a constant exposure (light intensity x 
time). Reciprocity failure occurs during very long or very 
short exposures, requiring the photographer to increase 
exposure.
Spectral Sensitivity: Shows the equivalent energy 
needed at each wavelength in order to activate the 
emulsion so that it produces a neutral density of .75.
