Kodak PX 135-36 Plus-X Pan Black & White 8793606 User Manual

KODAK PROFESSIONAL PLUS-X 125 Film / 125PX 

• F-4018

Handle unprocessed film in total darkness.

Using a safelight will affect your results. If absolutely 

necessary, after development is half complete, you can use 
a safelight equipped with a KODAK 3 Safelight Filter (dark 
green) with a 15-watt bulb for a few seconds. Keep the 
safelight at least 4 feet (1.2 metres) from the film. Run tests 
to determine that safelight use gives acceptable results for 
your application.

For information on safelight testing, see KODAK 

Publication No. K-4, How Safe Is Your Safelight?

These starting-point recommendations are intended to 
produce negatives with a contrast appropriate for printing 
with a diffusion enlarger. To print negatives with a 
condenser enlarger, you may need to adjust the contrast by 
reducing your development time. Tank development times 
shorter than 5 minutes may produce unsatisfactory 
uniformity.

With small single- or double-reel tanks, drop the loaded 
film reel into the developer and attach the top to the tank. 
Firmly tap the tank on the top of the work surface to 
dislodge any air bubbles. Provide initial agitation of 5 to 7 
inversion cycles in 5 seconds; i.e., extend your arm and 
vigorously twist your wrist 180 degrees. 

Then repeat this agitation procedure at 30-second 

intervals for the rest of the development time.

Agitate continuously for the first 15 to 30 seconds by 
raising and lowering the basket, rack, or spindle 1/2-inch. 
Do not agitate the basket, rack, or spindle for the remainder 
of the first minute. Then agitate once per minute by lifting 
the basket, rack, or spindle out of the developer, tilting it 
approximately 30 degrees, draining it for 5 to 10 seconds, 
and reimmersing it. Alternate the direction of tilting the 
basket, rack, or spindle.

*

 With agitation at 30-second intervals. Development times shorter than 5 minutes may produce unsatisfactory results.

†

 With manual agitation at 1-minute intervals. Development times shorter than 5 minutes may produce unsatisfactory results.

NR = Not Recommended.

Note: Use only KODAK HC-110 Developer (Dilution B) to process long rolls of PLUS-X Pan Film on spiral reels. Develop for 6 
minutes at 68

°F (20°C) or 4 1/4 minutes at 75°F (24°C).
