STORAGE
For consistent results, all aerial films should be stored under
fairly constant conditions. Kodak aerial films are “usually”
packaged in equilibrium with 40 to 50 percent relative
humidity. High temperatures or high humidity may produce
undesirable changes in the film.

it about 2 hours before opening; if stored in a freezer, remove

is necessary to prevent moisture condensation on cold film --
otherwise, moisture spotting, ferrotyping, or sticking may
occur.

Exposed Film
Keep exposed film cool and dry. Process the film as soon as
possible after exposure to avoid undesirable changes in the
latent image. If it is necessary to hold exposed but
unprocessed film for several days (such as over a weekend),
it should be resealed and refrigerated at 40

PROCESSING
KODAK DOUBLE-X AEROGRAPHIC Film 2305 can be
processed in KODAK VERSAMAT Film Processor, Models
11 and 1140, with KODAK VERSAMAT 885 Chemicals,
KODAK VERSAMAT 641 Chemicals, or KODAK
VERSAMAT Chemicals, Type A.

Mechanized processing in roller-transport processors
offers the advantages of uniform treatment of all portions of
the roll, freedom from banding, and absence of significant
density variations from ends of the roll to the center. Refer to
the operator’s manual for the processor set-up information,
but in all cases, the fixer replenisher should be introduced
into tank No. 5 of the processor with a countercurrent flow
to tank No. 3, where it overflows to a collection or recovery
system.

temperature of the dryer may require some further
adjustment, depending upon the ambient temperature
