Adding New Chemistry

The following information is a guideline for mixing new chemistry for chemical
tanks in the processor.

IMPORTANT: To avoid oxidation, do not use PRIME Developer or Bleach/Fix.

Developer: (FRESH START EKTACOLOR RA Developer RT)

1.

Pour 8 litres of water in a 10 litre mixing bottle (bottle #1).

2. Follow the mixing instructions for parts A, B and C provided with the

developer. Add water until you reach the 10 litres mark.

3. Transfer 2000 ml of the pre-mixed developer replenisher to the developer

replenisher bottle (bottle #2).

4. Add 125 ml of developer starter to the mixing bottle (bottle #1).

5. Add water to the mixing bottle (bottle #1) until the mixture reaches the 10 litre

mark.

6. Add the mixture to the developer tank.

7. Repeat steps 1 through 3. Use a separate bottle (bottle #3).

8. Transfer 6 litres of developer from bottle #3 to bottle #2.

9. Add 63 ml of developer starter to bottle #3.

10. Add 937 ml of water to bottle #3 and then stir the mixture gently.

11. Add the mixture to the developer tank.

NOTE: If the developer in the tank reaches the top of the overflow pipe before you

finish adding all of the developer starter, save the remainder of the
developer starter. Add the remaining developer starter to the developer tank
when the processor begins to operate. Air is purged from the circulation
lines and the level of developer in the developer tank drops. Discard any
remaining developer starter.

Pour 5 litres of water in a 10 litre mixing bottle.

2. Follow the mixing instructions for parts A and B that are provided with the
