CURRENT INFORMATION SUMMARY

March 2009 • CIS-229

Using the KODAK EKTACOLOR Processing
Cartridge 111 with Digital Minilabs using
Processes CP-48S and CP-49E
NOTE: If you are located in Europe, use publication CIS-229E.

KODAK EKTACOLOR Processing Cartridge 111 and
KODAK Rinse Tablets are designed for use with all
models of FUJI FRONTIER Digital Minilabs and models
of NORITSU Digital Minilabs using Process Cycles CP48S and C-49E. The EKTACOLOR Processing Cartridge
111 is a drop-in cartridge for paper processing chemicals.
The cartridge and tablets are part of Kodak’s systems
approach that enables users of other manufacturers’
minilabs to provide customers with photographs printed
on KODAK Paper and processed in KODAK Chemicals.
When used with KODAK EKTACOLOR ROYAL or EDGE
GENERATIONS Papers, the processing cartridge will
produce prints with rich, bright colors and excellent
shadow detail.

OBTAINING CHEMICALS
These products are offered worldwide. Each cartridge
processes 111 square metres of KODAK EKTACOLOR
ROYAL or EDGE GENERATIONS Papers when the
processor is operated at recommended replenishment
rates. They are available from your usual supplier of
KODAK Products. Catalog numbers are as follows:
KODAK EKTACOLOR Processing Cartridge 111
CAT No. 838 7375, US/Canada/Latin
America/European Regions

The KODAK EKTACOLOR Processing Cartridge 111 is
compatible with both FUJI and NORITSU Minilab
Systems using Process CP-48S and CP-49E. There are
different time and temperature recommendations for
these process cycles. See Figures 1, 2, and 3 for details.

As the KODAK Chemicals and Paper season into the
processor, the low plots will recover closer to the aim
values. The printer will calibrate to follow the process
shift, and there will be no significant impact on the
picture quality. Depending on the rate of chemical use, it
may take a few weeks for the full impact of the shift.

CONVERTING TO THE KODAK EKTACOLOR
PROCESSING CARTRIDGE 111
To convert to the KODAK EKTACOLOR Processing
Cartridge 111, simply load the cartridge, and let it mix as
usual on top of existing solutions. Use KODAK Rinse
Tablets in the same way as FUJI FSC100 Super
Conditioner Tablets. If you are converting from a FUJI
CP-48S, CP-48HV, or CP-49E Processing Cartridge that
processes 111 square meters of paper, then no processor
adjustments are required to use the EKTACOLOR
Processing Cartridge 111. Use the same replenishment
and other software settings as for your previous
chemical cartridge. However, if you are converting from
a FUJI CP-48LR, or CP-49ELR Processing Cartridge, you
will need to adjust the replenishment rates listed for the
Developer Replenisher and Bleach-Fix Replenisher to the
rates listed in Figures 1, 2, and 3 that follow.

For smaller models of FUJI and NORITSU Digital
Minilabs, such as the FRONTIER 330 or the NORITSU
3501/3502F, it will take approximately 6 cartridges to
fully season the tank solutions with KODAK Chemicals
and Paper. For models with larger tank sizes, such as
FRONTIER 390 Digital Minilab, it may take up to
30 cartridges to fully season the larger tanks.
When your processor needs a new cartridge, simply
mount the EKTACOLOR Processing Cartridge 111 on the
machine, and let it mix as usual. Use KODAK Rinse
Tablets in the same way as FUJI FSC100 Super
Conditioner Tablets.

At the time of the conversion from other chemicals to
the KODAK EKTACOLOR Processing Cartridge 111, you
may encounter process control biases using KODAK
Control Strips and the aims described on page 7. For
example, the LD may be low by as much as –0.10. This
bias is explained by slight differences in the
formulations of the previous product and the
EKTACOLOR Processing Cartridge 111.

To Prepare a Fresh Super Rinse Tank Solution
You will need to prepare fresh super rinse tank
solution when you drain the tanks for routine
cleaning. To prepare fresh tanks, add one rinse tablet
to each stabilizer tank, and fill the tank with water to
the appropriate level.

Disposing of Empty Cartridges
Your processor rinses the chemical solutions from the
cartridge during the mixing cycle. The empty cartridge is
not considered to be hazardous waste. Most regions
have a local community-recycling program. Check with
program authorities to determine if these bottles are
eligible for local recycling. See KODAK Publication No.
CIS-148, Recycling KODAK Photochemical Containers, for
more information on preparing the empty bottles for
recycling. CIS-148 and other publications on waste
management are available from
www.kodak.com/go/KES. If recycling is not an option,
rinse the bottles as outlined in CIS-148, render the
bottles unusable (if warranted), and then dispose with
your normal solid waste.

Draining and Mixing Fresh Replenishers
If you need to drain and mix fresh replenisher solutions,
follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for draining
the replenisher tanks, or use this procedure:
1. Empty the remaining replenisher solutions by using
the drain valves at the bottom of the machine
2. After draining is complete, close the drain valves.
Note for FUJI FRONTIERS only:
It is necessary to add water to the developer
replenisher tank. Add this instruction to those above:
2A. Pour 500 mL of water into the developer (the slot
farthest to the left) in the cartridge-loading section.
3.

Insert a full cartridge into the slot and make
replenishers by following the standard procedure
given for the processor model used.

Filtration
Processing solutions may contain insoluble materials. If
you don’t filter out these materials, they may stick to the
paper, tank walls, rollers, and lines, and can damage the
paper. It is also important to replace solution filters
periodically so that a blocked filter does not reduce the
solution flow. Use the filters designed for the processor
and recommended in the printer/processor manual.

Example: Loading dock of FUJI FRONTIER Processor

Drying
The drying temperature may need to be adjusted
depending on the atmospheric conditions in the minilab.
You can save energy costs by avoiding overheating.
Typically, temperatures in the range of 50 to 60 ºC
(122 to 140 ºF) have been effective.

Silver Recovery
Publications on silver management that include
recommendations and descriptions of silver-recovery
options are available in the Silver Management section
of the Kodak Environmental Services Publication Center
at www.kodak.com/go/KES.
Pour 500 mL of water into this position when
making replenisher after completely draining
replenisher tanks.

Note: If you forget to add the water and receive an error
message (E-2675) when you prepare fresh replenishers, you
can add the water after the replenishers have been mixed.
The water addition is only necessary when the
replenisher tank has been drained; it is not required for
routine mixes with the cartridge.

USING KODAK CONTROL STRIPS /
PROCESS RA-4 / EXTENDED LENGTH IN
THE FUJI FRONTIER DIGITAL MINILAB
KODAK Control Strips, Process RA-4 / Extended
Length, CAT No.130 4690, are designed for use in all
Control Strip Holders for FUJI FRONTIER and NORITSU
3501F and 3701F Digital Minilabs. No shim is required
when using these extended length strips. If you have
installed a shim in your control strip magazine for using
the standard length KODAK Control Strips, Process
RA-4, please remove it before using the strips. Use
these strips for the most accurate process monitoring
when you process KODAK EKTACOLOR ROYAL and
KODAK EKTACOLOR EDGE Papers.
For calculating the aims for your control strip code, read
the Status A Red, Green, and Blue densities of the
reference strip, and then apply the correction factors.
For the HD-LD parameter, subtract the corrected LD
from the corrected HD density readings. You will find
three sets of correction factors on the reference envelop
for you to use in calculating the aims. Make sure you
select the correct PC 111 correction factors for the
specific FUJI FRONTIER or NORITSU “F” Model Digital
Minilabs you are using:


For FRONTIER Models 330, 350. 355, 370, 375, and
390, using Process CP-48S, use the correction
factors labeled:
EKTACOLOR PC11148S



For FRONTIER Model 340, and NORITSU models
3701/02/03/04F using Process CP-49E, use the
correction factors labeled:
EKTACOLOR PC11149E



For the FRONTIER Models 550, 570, or NORITSU
Model 3501/02F and 3705F, using Process CP-49E,
use the correction factors labeled:
EKTACOLOR PC111495

USING THE “VISUAL PROCESS CONTROL
GUIDE” TO TROUBLESHOOT PROCESSES
CP-48S and CP-49E
If your Process RA-4 control chart indicates an out-ofcontrol position, you may use the “Visual Process
Control Guide” to investigate potential causes and apply
corrective action.
First check for operational errors:
 Make sure the control-strip code matches the
reference-strip code.
 Calibrate the densitometer.
 Recheck the control-strip aims and verify the
correction factors.
 Make sure you have used the right set of correction
factors for calculating your aims, for the process
cycle or model of processor used, see page 7.
 Verify the problem by processing a second control
strip.
 Determine if any recent processor maintenance
could have caused a problem.
 Use an accurate thermometer to verify that the
developer and other solution temperatures are
correct.
Match your plots to the “Visual Process Control
Guide” to identify your problem:
 Match your control plots to the examples given on
the “Visual Process Control Guide.” Compare only
one plot parameter at a time (BP, HD-LD, LD, Dmin). Note that the patterns of the red, green, and
blue plot deviations can be an indicator of different
problems.
 Write down the problems indicated by each
parameter for the plots that are out of control.
Consider that you may have more than one problem
occurring at the same time.
 Consider each potential cause of the out-of-control
condition, and verify the operational conditions of
the processor.


Corrective Action and Prescriptions


The Yellow Patch monitors the performance of the
bleach-fix solution for retained silver. A bleach-fix
solution that is underreplenished or diluted will not
efficiently remove silver in the paper, leaving
retained silver in higher density areas. The yellow
patch is not plotted on a control chart; it is meant to
be a visual reference only. Compare the yellow
patch on a processed control strip with the yellow
patch on the reference strip. If the processed
control strip yellow patch appears brown or less
saturated in color, or “muddy” compared to the
reference, you may have retained silver. You can
confirm retained silver by the following test:
1. Take your processed control strip and process it
again through your processor in order to rebleach-fix the control strip.
2. Compare the yellow on the re-processed control
strip to the yellow patch on the reference strip. If
re-bleach-fixing has improved the yellow patch on
the re-processed strip, then you have confirmed a
retained silver problem.
Prescriptions:
— Replace bleach-fix tank with fresh bleach-fix
tank solution.
— Also, recalibrate the replenishment pumps for
the bleach (P2-RA) and fix (P2-RB) replenisher
solutions.

When you have determined the most likely
cause(s) of the out-of-control condition, take
corrective action to eliminate the symptom of the
problem.



The Black Patch monitors the performance of the
developer for activity and contamination. There is
no upper control limit for Black Patch. If the Black
Patch plots are low, then it could be an indication of
low developer activity due to underreplenishment
or severe oxidation. If the blue Black Patch is very
low and separated from the red and green plots, it
could be a sign of developer contamination. See
prescriptions listed under the LD parameter.

 The HD-LD (Contrast) is usually a very steady plot
parameter that is unresponsive to most process
problems. However, it can help monitor developer
activity problems due to agitation or oxidation. If
developer tank solution is underagitated, the plots
will be low. If developer tank solution is slightly
oxidized, the plots will be high. If the developer
becomes extremely oxidized, the plots will be low. If
the solution is extremely out of control by more
than 0.18density units over or under aim, drain and
replace the developer tank solution. If the plots are
less than 0.18 density units over or under aim, a
prescription can be risked.
Prescriptions:
— Underagitation: call service representative to
fix agitation pump on processor.
— Oxidation: check for air bubbles in developer
tank; call service technician if seen.


The LD (Speed) monitors the developer activity.
Speed is the primary indicator of developer time,
temperature, and especially developer
replenishment rate. For time that is too long,
temperature too high, or overreplenishment, the LD
plots will be high. For time too short, temperature
too low, or underreplenishment, the LD plots will be
low. Check the temperature of the developer, adjust
as necessary to bring back into specification. If the
plots are extremely out of control, by more than
0.18 density units over or under aim, drain and
replace the developer. If the plots are less than 0.18
density units from aim, a prescription can be risked.

Note: If the red LD is very high and/or the green LD is
very low and they are split from the blue LD, it may be
caused by developer contaminated with bleach-fix. In
this case, the developer must be drained and replaced
with fresh developer tank solution. Make sure the tank is
cleaned and thoroughly flushed with water to remove all
contaminated developer from the tank and circulation
system.
Prescriptions:
— For high LD plots:
— Overreplenishment: Remove a volume of
developer solution equal to 10% of the total
tank volume and replace with water. Repeat
until it is in control.
— For low LD plots:
— Underreplenishment: Remove a volume of
developer tank solution equal to one third of
the tank volume and replace with fresh
developer tank that is mixed according to the
“Make 1 litre” component ratios in Table 1a.
 D-min (Stain) monitors the whiteness of the
unexposed paper. An increase in the D-min plot can
indicate oxidation or contamination problems in the
developer, or a problem in the super rinse when the
solution is dirty or has biological growth residue.
Prescriptions:
— For high D-min on paper caused by oxidized or
contaminated developer, replace the developer
tank solution with fresh developer tank solution
mixed according to the component ratios in
Table 1a.
— For a high D-min on the paper caused by dirty
stabilizer or biological growth in the stabilizer
tanks and racks, clean the stabilizer tanks and
replace the solution with water and KODAK
Rinse Tablets.
