STORAGE AND HANDLING

Store unexposed film at 21° C (70° F) or lower in the

original sealed package. For extended periods, store film at

13° C(55° F) to preserve consistency.

To avoid moisture condensation on film that has been

refrigerated, allow the film to warm up to room

temperature before opening the package. Typical warm-up

times are given in the table below.

Load and unload roll-film cameras in subdued light.

Total darkness is required when you load and unload sheet

film holders.

Process film as soon as possible after exposure. Protect

negatives from strong light, and store them in a cool, dry

place. For long-term storage, keep negatives at a

temperature between 2° C (35° F) and 13° C (55° F) and at

a relative humidity between 30 and 35 percent.

DARKROOM RECOMMENDATIONS

Do not use a safelight. Handle unprocessed film in total

darkness.

EXPOSURE

Film Speed

Use the speed numbers in the tables below with cameras

or meters marked for ISO, ASA, or DIN speeds or exposure

indexes (EIs). Do not change the film-speed setting when

metering through a filter. Metering through filters may

affect light meter accuracy; see your meter or camera

manual for specific information. For critical work, make a

series of test exposures.

For best results without special printing.

Daylight Fluorescent and High-Intensity Discharge Lamps Use the exposures in the table below for average frontlit subjects from 2 hours after sunrise to 2 hours before sunset. Use the color-compensating filters and exposure adjustments in the tables below as starting points to expose KODAK PROFESSIONAL EKTAR 100 Film under fluorescent or high-intensity discharge lamps. For critical applications, make a series of test exposures under your actual conditions.

PROCESSING RETOUCHING Process EKTAR 100 Film in KODAK FLEXICOLOR Chemicals for Process C-41 using the replenishment and wash rates in the tables below. Note that the developer replenishment rates are starting-point recommendations only and may vary due to the amount of exposure to the film, scene content, and the presence/absence of sprocket holes. You can retouch the 120 and sheet sizes on both the base side and the emulsion side. Retouch only the emulsion side of 135 size film.

SCANNING NEGATIVES IMAGE STRUCTURE You can easily scan EKTAR 100 Film negatives with a variety of linear-array-CCD, area-array-CCD, and PMT film scanners. You can scan negatives on desktop scanners as well as high-end drum scanners. Because no standards exist to define the colored filter sets that film scanners use to capture the red, green, and blue information of the film image, each manufacturer’s scanner has its own characteristic output.
