TECHNICAL DATA / BLACK-AND-WHITE FILM
KODAK PROFESSIONAL T-MAX
Films
—NOTICE—
To reflect our enduring commitment to black-and-white
photography, Kodak moved black-and-white film production to an
even more advanced film-coating facility in early 2002. New
technology applied to these superior, time-tested emulsions
resulted in slightly different processing times for the film family.
But the same great films—those you've known and trusted for
years—will still deliver the same breathtaking results.
