Control Strip Log Exposure Range The graphs in Figure 2 and Figure 3 demonstrate the differences between the former ECN control strip exposed on KODAK VISION2 200T Color Negative Film 5217, and the new format exposed on KODAK VISION3 200T Color Negative Film 5213. Physically, the center-to-center step distance has been maintained on the new control strips; no problems should be encountered with existing automatic densitometers. Once the transition to the new control strips is complete, and the new control step reference values have been determined, continue to use KODAK VISION3 Color Negative Control Strips in the same manner as your previous control strips. Please contact your Kodak representative for additional information on monitoring your process with control strips.

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. standard level for the variable is represented by zero density). The magnitude of the changes shown in these plots should not be considered to be process control limits. Also, the data presented are qualitative, not quantitative. The plots were derived from experiments using small laboratory machines in which all constituents were held constant except the variable being studied. Hence, the figures should be used only as trend charts and guides. If two or more process variable are changed, the resulting photographic effect illustrated may not be additive. Interactions can occur that produce effects other than those predicted by addition. The plots in this publication are representative only; they do not contain all possible solution problems. Most of the important photographic effects take place in the developer. 4 KODAK VISION3 Color Negative Control Strips, Technical Data and Crossover Information
