To the specified volume of water, add the PRIME SP Bleach-Fix Replenisher
LORR and PRIME SP Bleach-Fix Starter concentrates directly from the
bottles. Allow the recirculation pumps to mix the solution when the
processor is turned on. If necessary, add a small amount of water to finish
filling the tank.
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.
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.
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.
