Rinse
Rinse at 65 to 75
°
F (18 to 24
°
C) with agitation.
Fix
Fix at 65 to 75
°
F (18 to 24
°
C) with frequent agitation.
* Primary fixer recommendation.
Note: Fixer may exhaust more rapidly with this film than
with other films. Use fresh fixer. If negatives show a magenta
(pink) stain after fixing, the fixer may be near exhaustion or
a longer fix time is needed. If the stain is slight, it will have
no printing effect. If it is pronounced and irregular over the
film surface, refix the film in fresh fixer. Another way to
remove the dye stain is to bathe the film in KODAK Hypo
Clearing Agent for 2 minutes at 65 to 75
°
F (18 to 24
°
C) and
follow with a 5 minute wash.
Wash
Wash at 65 to 75
°
F (18 to 24
°
C) in running water for about
20 to 30 minutes.
Dry
Dry in a dust-free place.
Push Processing
Push-processing allows film to be exposed at higher
exposure indices. However, it does not produce optimum
quality. Prints show a slight loss of shadow detail and
increase in graininess.
The processing times to produce a CI of 0.74 for 2-stop
push-processing are given in the following tables. Use these
percentages for development not covered by the following
tables:
Note: MICRODOL-X Developer (full strength) is not
recommended for push processing.

Large Tank Processing
Large tank (1/2- to 3 1/2-gallon) (Rolls), agitation at
1-minute intervals, in KODAK T-MAX RS Developer and
Replenisher:
* Primary time/temperature recommendation.
NR = Not Recommended.

When processing this film in the KODAK VERSAMAT
Film Processor, Model 11, Model 1140, Model 5, or Model
411, using KODAK DURAFLO RT Chemicals, use the
following table.
DIMENSIONAL STABILITY
Dimensional stability is an all-inclusive term. In
photography, it applies to size changes caused by changes in
humidity and in temperature, and by processing and aging.
The absence of solvent in ESTAR Base is one of the reasons
why ESTAR Base films show excellent dimensional
stability. The dimensional properties of ESTAR Base may
vary slightly in different directions within a sheet; the
differences that may exist, however, are not always equal in
both the length and width directions.
Differences in size change between length and width
should be within 10 percent of each other.
