Features / Customer Product Specifications
Kodak Gen 5 films are fast, high contrast, broad band red-sensitive film. Their sharp dots are capable of
high resolution at fine screen rulings. These films are optimized for exposure on film recorders that use a
helium-neon laser (633 nm) or a red laser diode (630 to 670 nm) as the exposing source.
These films feature high processing speeds (development in as little as 20 seconds) and low
replenishment rates in rapid-access developer and fixer, which contribute to improved productivity and
reduced operating costs.
Gen 5 films are coated on a dimensionally stable Estar base with antistatic and surface properties to
ensure dependable transport and handling behavior.
Safelight Recommendations
Use an
EncapSulite T20/ND.75 safelight or equivalent. Keep the film at least 1.2 metres (4 feet) from
the safelight. Do not expose the film to safelight illumination for longer than two minutes.
