Extremely low contrast or line work	5

SAFELIGHT RECOMMENDATIONS 
Use a KODAK OC Safelight Filter (light amber) in a suitable safelight lamp with a bulb of 15 watts or less at least 4 feet (1.2 metres) from the paper. Minimize safelight exposure to avoid unwanted quality changes. Be especially careful if you use other types of safelights. 
Note: Do not use a KODAK OA Safelight Filter (greenish yellow). See KODAK Publication No. K-4, How Safe Is Your Safelight?, for information on safelight testing. 

STORAGE AND HANDLING 
Store paper in a cool, dry place (preferably at or below 70F [21C] and at a relative humidity of 30 to 50 percent). High temperatures or high humidity may produce undesirable changes. Always rewrap unused paper in its original packaging (the outer box as well as the bag) to protect it from light and moisture. Avoid or shield the paper from exposure to radioactivity or x-rays. 
EXPOSURE 
Light Sources 
Expose this paper with tungsten or tungsten-halogen enlarging lamps, cool-white fluorescent lamps, mercury vapor lamps, or cathode-ray tubes. For best results, make test prints for each light source.

PROCESSING 
Machine 
You can process this paper in roller-transport processors (e.g., KODAK POLYMAX IR Paper Processor or the KODAK DEKTOMATIC 65 Paper Processor) or continuous processors with KODAK POLYMAX RT Developer and Replenisher and KODAK POLYMAX RT Fixer and Replenisher or KODAK Rapid Fixer, Solution A. 
For rapid processing of this paper, you can use the KODAK ROYALPRINT Processor, Model 417, with KODAK ROYALPRINT Chemicals.

	-	4:00	-

 *Not available in all countries. 
tDiscard the solution when color changes to a purplish blue. 
 #To increase capacity, use two fixing baths. 
Stop Bath 
Bathe prints for at least 10 seconds at 65 to 75F (18 to 24C) with continuous agitation in KODAK EKTAFLO Stop Bath, KODAK Indicator Stop Bath, or 48 mL KODAK 28% Acetic Acid and water to make 1L. 
With EKTAFLO or Indicator Stop Bath, discard the solution when the color changes to a purplish blue. Change Acetic Acid and water stop bath after approximately twenty 8 x 10-inch prints per litre (eighty 8 x 10-inch prints per gallon). 

Fixing 
Fix prints at 65 to 75F (18 to 24C) with frequent agitation. If you use two fixing baths, fix prints for 1 minute in each bath, draining for 5 seconds between baths. Fix for 2 minutes if you use a single bath. 
Note: Using a hardening fixer makes toning less efficient. For the same amount of processing time, you'll see less of a toning effect. 

Washing 
Wash for at least 4 minutes in running water at 50 to 86F (10 to 30C), interleaving the prints carefully and frequently. 
Note: Avoid prolonged fixing and washing times to realize all advantages of the water-resistant base, and to minimize physical damage, edge penetration, and curl. 

Drying 
Air-dry at room temperature after removing surface water with a clean, lintless blotter or cloth, or a soft squeegee or sponge. You can also dry prints with warm air, or use a dryer intended for resin-coated papers. 
Do not ferrotype prints made on this paper. You can use ferrotype dryers (glazing machines) below 190F (88C) if you squeegee the prints and feed them base side toward the drum surface. 

TONING 
Use KODAK Toners to extend the life of prints that may be exposed to oxidizing gases or subjected to adverse storage or display conditions. KODAK Toners will protect prints whether or not they produce a tone shift. 
For more information on toning, see KODAK Publication G-23, Toning KODAK Black-and-White Materials. It explains the technique of toning, and describes Kodak toners and their effects on Kodak black-and-white papers and films.
