Description

CD film is a moderately high contrast orthochromatic duplicting film designed especially for copy-dot exposures using step-and-repeat equipment such as the Opti-Copy Imposer™ Camera.

 
Features

• Produces extremely sharp copy-dot quality
• Dimensionally stable
• Rapid, uniform vacuum drawdown
• Excellent handling characteristics before and after processing
• To-the-emulsion or through-the-base exposures
• Compatible with most rapid access chemistries

 
Safelights

Handle film under red safelighting at least 4 feet (1.2 meters) from the film until processed. Total safelight exposure (includes before and after image exposure) not to exceed 8 minutes.

Recommended Safelighting: 15 watt red safelight with Wratten 1A or equivalent filter

 
Exposure

Exposure Source	Reproduction Size	Typical Exposure Time
Opti-Copy Imposer		To Emulsion	Through Base
Blue	1:1	3-4 sec	6-7 sec
Green	1:1	5-6 sec	8-10 sec
Process Camera		To Emulsion	Through Base
Quartz Iodine (four 1500 watt lamps)*	1:1	38-78 sec; f/16	60-120 sec; f/16
Pulsed Xenon (two 1500 watt lamps)*	1:1	19-38 sec; f/16	29-58 sec; f/16
Tungsten Enlarger
Condenser-type 150 watt, no 212 bulb at 0.4 footcandles at the easel	15X line reproduction	25-50 seconds (to the emulsion) - for exposure through the base, multiply exposures by 1.5

* Lamps positioned 3 feet from copyboard.

 
Storage

Keep unexposed film and processed film in a cool, dry place. Process film as soon as possible after exposure.

 
Processing

CD film is best suited for rapid access processing. Refer to the container labels for mixing and other instructions regarding the processing chemicals.

Processing Recommendations

Before handling or using any chemical product, be sure to read the Material Safety Data Sheet for health hazard data, precautionary information and suggested first aid.

Use these recommendations as a starting point. For optimum results, use:

• RLD rapid laser developer (1:4)
• RLF rapid laser fix (1:6 or 1:5)

Process	Time	Temp	Replenishment Rate 50% Area Exposed
RLD developer*	20-40 seconds	95°F (35°C)	0.40 ml per sq inch (620 ml per sq meter)
RLF fix	20-40 seconds	90°F (32°C)	0.35 ml per sq inch (540 ml per sq meter)

*These conditions are also applicable to most rapid access processing chemistries.
