•
With the handle of the control strip box to the right and the emulsion side (2)
down, first insert the trailing end of the control strip (end that comes out last
goes in first). The end of the control strip should be flush to the end of the box
•
If the control strip was accidentally inserted upside down (the emulsion is on
top), the processed control strip usually shows typical dirt marks.
