The Kodak B&W Reversal First Developer Starter is designed to precisely season a fresh batch of first developer replenisher. This starter allows technicians to convert replenisher into a working tank solution that immediately mimics the chemical equilibrium, ensuring consistent results.
Specifically formulated for the Kodak black and white reversal process, this concentrated starter is used in conjunction with the first developer replenisher to control the activity of the developing agents. By adding this quart of concentrate to create 16 gallons of working solution, labs prevent the high contrast or unstable results typically associated with a new chemical mix. It is an essential tool for maintaining the exacting D-min and D-max standards.
