Features Manufactured to ISO and ANSI standards for LE-5 films Low printing density Clear master characters (D-min) allow for higher throughput rates of duplicators. Medium contrast and high resolution provide sharp characters and accurately reproduce fine lines and light images Provides excellent overall image quality. Excellent halation protection Backside reflections and image flare eliminated for sharper, crisper images. More images per roll, less fog during loading and unloading of cameras. Superior latent image keeping Image density has minimal degradation between time of exposure and delayed processing. Color sensitivity Provides excellent capture of multicolored documents (checks) and inks, and light emissions. Process insensitive Image quality and background density are not significantly affected by typical operational variations in processing. Roll-to-roll and emulsion batch-to-batch consistency Minimizes the need for camera adjustments or operator intervention between rolls or batches of film. Process-surviving anti-static backing Even after processing, static protection is maintained, reducing dirt and static problems in retrieval, scanning and duplicating equipment for excellent image quality and reliability over the long haul. Features unique to CS Microfilm Improved response to the xenon-flash and red neon light exposure of the IBM 389 Document Processor. Features unique to CP Microfilm Specifically designed for "through film base" fluorescent exposures. Intended for use in high speed cameras 6 documents/min.

Specific systems or customer needs may demand variation from these values based on photographic aims. Dwell time is determined by timing film speed from entrance roller to exit roller while running in the processor. Processing information Processors and processing chemicals Kodak Imagelink Microfilms can be processed in most typical continuous-strand type medium and deep-tank processors utilizing common Kodak Processing Chemicals and parameters. However, they are compatible with all standard microfilm processing equipment and high quality microfilm chemicals, although results may vary. IMPORTANT: For best results and to avoid aeration, always add chemical concentrate to water, not water to concentrate. Replenishment rates Use the chart and formula provided to determine the developer and fixer replenishment rates (ml/ min) by multiplying transport speed (ft/min) (which is determined by dividing the path length of the developer tank in feet by the dwell time in seconds and multipling by 6; see example) and the appropriate processor replenishment specification (ml/linear ft). Transport Replenishment/ Replenishment speed X ft of film = rate (ft/min) (ml/lft) (ml/min*) * ml/min = cc/min An example follows: For Processor: Type of Film: Dwell: Developer Film Path: See table below for: Replenishment (Dev): Replenishment (Fix):.5 Calculated transport speed: 54 feet x 6 sec. 43 sec. min 5 feet x. ml min. ft 5 feet x.5 ml min. ft Allen M7 6mm HQ 43 seconds 54 feet = 5 feet / min (transport speed) = 5 ml / min* (developer replenishment) = 68 ml / min* (fixer replenishment) Replenishment ml/linear Ft 6 mm 35 mm 5 mm Dev Fix Dev Fix Dev Fix Kodak Prostar.75.75.5.5 N/A N/A Medium tank.8.75.6.5. 3.

Photographic aims D-min:.4 or lower Process handling and storage Handling Handle and process imaged film in total darkness. However, you can load and unload cameras and load processors with the following light-tight film holders: Closed cartridges - room-light loading Flanged spools - subdued-light loading Unflanged spools - total darkness Warning: These films may be handled under safelight conditions only for a limited time. Testing under actual use conditions should be performed. If a safelight is required for safety reasons, use KODAK No. 3 Green Safelight Filter with a maximum 7.5 watt bulb at a minimum of 8 feet away. Storage Keep unopened packages of films at 7 F ( C), at 5-percent relative humidity or below, and protected from radiation and x-rays. To avoid moisture condensation on film that has been refrigerated, do not open the package until the film has warmed throughout to normal room temperature ( to / hours for 6 mm film, to 3 hours for 35 mm film, and 4 to 6 hours for 5 mm film). Image stability and keeping These films are manufactured to ANSI and ISO specifications for extended-term storage use. When processed as recommended, these films meet both ANSI and ISO specifications for films intended for long-term storage. These films have a Life Expectancy LE-5 rating. ANSI/NAPM IT9.-996, Imaging Materials Processed Silver-Gelatin Type Black-and-White Film Specifications for Stability or ISO 6, Photography Processed Silver-Gelatin Type Black-and-White Film Specifications for Stability, state that for films with a Life Expectancy LE-5, the maximum permissible concentration of thiosulfate ion is.4 grams per square metre (.4 micrograms per square centimetre). Thiosulfate limits for Class grain apply to this film. It is recommended that customers establish their own compliance with extended-term storage requirements and optimum storage conditions, as outlined in ANSI/IT 9.-993 and the Kodak Publication D-3, Storage and Preservation of Microfilms. ANSI/NAPM IT9.-993, Imaging Media Processed Safety Film Processed Safety Photographic Films Storage, and ISO 5466-996, Photography Processed Safety Photographic Films Storage Practices, give appropriate conditions for extended-term (permanent) and long-term storage films. NOTE: Refer to the latest revision of each ANSI or ISO Standard specified. Diffuse RMS granularity: Determined at a net diffuse visual density of., using the aperture indicated. Film 48-Micrometre Aperture HQ 6 CS, CP 7 FS 7 This value represents, times the standard deviation of density produced by the granular structure of the material when a uniformly exposed and developed sample is scanned with a densitometer calibrated to read American Standard diffuse visual density, and having a circular measuring aperture with the indicated diameter. Granularity is an objective measurement of the spatial variation of sample density that generally correlates with graininess, which is the subjective effect of the image nonuniformity upon an observation when comparisons are made at the same density level. D-3 4

Broadly speaking, granularity measurements with the 48-micrometre aperture will indicate the magnitude of the graininess sensation produced by viewing the diffusely illuminated sample with X monocular magnification. It should be noted that if the viewing conditions are changed from the specified conditions, the published RMS values may no longer correctly indicate the relative sensations of graininess produced by various samples. Modulation transfer function: The MTF curve was determined using a method similar to that described in ANSI PH.39-977 (R99). Meter setting or speed value For these microfilms, the value is for a /5- second tungsten exposure calculated using the formula 45/H, where H is the exposure in luxseconds required for a density of. above minimum density with indicated processing. This value can be used directly with incident-light meters. Note: This meter-setting value was chosen to indicate a suitable exposure for microfilming applications. It cannot be compared directly with exposure indexes or other meter-setting numbers given for films used in conventional photography. Reciprocity data For these microfilms, no exposure corrections are required for exposure times of to /- second when processed as recommended in a Kodak Prostar Processor. With xenon exposure, it is recommended that the manufacturer of high intensity ultraviolet lamps be consulted for safety information pertaining to ultraviolet radiation and ventilation requirements due to ozone generation.
