KODAK VISION Color Print Control Strips Introduction KODAK VISION Color Print Control Strips 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.
Effects of Mechanical and Chemical Variations Figures 2 through 12 illustrate some of the photographic effects of mechanical and chemical variations on KODAK VISION Color Print Control Strips exposed on 2383 Film compared to effects on batch codes 6101 (35 mm) and 6102 (16 mm) and above. Each plot shows the effect of a change in a process variable (horizontal axis), on the dye density of the processed film (vertical axis). These density plots are deviated against the standard level for each variable (e.g.

Control-Strip Crossover Important: During the inventory crossover from the previous batch Control Strips to the new VISION Control Strips, every effort should be taken in your operations to avoid switching back and forth. Your process control will be greatly simplified by depleting your supply of the EXR Control Strips (except for what is needed for crossover purposes) prior to utilizing the VISION Control Strips. There will come a time when you will need to begin using a new batch of control strips.
