TECHNICAL DATA / BLACK-AND-WHITE FILM  
KODAK PROFESSIONAL PLUS-X  
125 Film / 125PX  
KODAK PROFESSIONAL PLUS-X 125 Film is a  
—NOTICE—  
medium-speed, continuous-tone panchromatic film that is a  
good choice for general-purpose outdoor or studio  
photography. It features extremely fine grain and excellent  
sharpness.  
KODAK PROFESSIONAL PLUS-X Film is available in  
135 size and 35 mm long rolls on a 5-mil gray acetate base,  
and in 120 and 220 size on a 3.6-mil acetate base. The 120  
and 220 sizes have a retouching surface on the emulsion side.  
To reflect our enduring commitment to black-and-white  
photography, black-and-white film production will take place in  
an even more advanced film-coating facility. New technology  
applied to these superior, time-tested emulsions will result in  
slightly different processing times for the film family. But the  
same great films—those you've known and trusted for years—  
will still deliver the same breathtaking results.  
Use the packaging examples below to determine which film  
you have, then refer to the corresponding publication for  
development times.

MANUAL PROCESSING  
DARKROOM RECOMMENDATIONS  
Handle unprocessed film in total darkness.  
Small-Tank Processing (8- or 16-ounce tank)  
With small single- or double-reel tanks, drop the loaded film  
reel into the developer and attach the top to the tank. Firmly  
tap the tank on the top of the work surface to dislodge any air  
bubbles. Provide initial agitation of 5 to 7 inversion cycles in  
5 seconds; i.e., extend your arm and vigorously twist your  
wrist 180 degrees.  
Using a safelight will affect your results. If absolutely  
necessary, after development is half complete, you can use a  
safelight equipped with a KODAK 3 Safelight Filter (dark  
green) with a 15-watt bulb for a few seconds. Keep the  
safelight at least 4 feet (1.2 metres) from the film. Run tests to  
determine that safelight use gives acceptable results for your  
application.  
Then repeat this agitation procedure at 30-second  
intervals for the rest of the development time.  
For information on safelight testing, see KODAK  
Publication No. K-4, How Safe Is Your Safelight?  
Large-Tank Processing (1/2- to 3 1/2-gallon  
tank)—Rolls and Sheets  
PROCESSING  
Agitate continuously for the first 15 to 30 seconds by raising  
and lowering the basket, rack, or spindle 1/2-inch. Do not  
agitate the basket, rack, or spindle for the remainder of the  
first minute. Then agitate once per minute by lifting the  
basket, rack, or spindle out of the developer, tilting it  
approximately 30 degrees, draining it for 5 to 10 seconds,  
and reimmersing it. Alternate the direction of tilting the  
basket, rack, or spindle.  
These starting-point recommendations are intended to  
produce negatives with a contrast appropriate for printing  
with a diffusion enlarger. To print negatives with a condenser  
enlarger, you may need to adjust the contrast by reducing your  
development time. Tank development times shorter than  
5 minutes may produce unsatisfactory uniformity.

PUSH PROCESSING  
Push processing allows you to expose the film at higher  
film-speed numbers for conditions such as low-level light,  
stop action, or existing light. However, there will be a loss  
of shadow detail and an increase in graininess.  
Because of the film's exposure latitude, you can  
underexpose by one stop at EI 250 and use normal  
processing times. Prints will show a slight loss in shadow  
detail.  
You can underexpose by two stops at EI 500 if you  
increase development time by push processing. Prints will  
show an increase in contrast and graininess with further loss  
of shadow detail. However, results should be acceptable for  
many applications. Expose a test roll to determine the film  
speed that gives the best results for your application.  
You can underexpose the film by three stops (EI 1000)  
when you use 3-stop push processing in KODAK XTOL  
Developer. Prints will show an increase in contrast and  
graininess, and an additional loss of shadow detail.  
However, results should be acceptable for some  
applications. Expose some test rolls to determine the film  
speed that gives the best results for your application.

You may need to use higher dryer temperatures (135 to  
140°F [57 to 60°C]) to dry several sheet films processed in  
succession. If you are processing only roll films, a lower  
temperature will be adequate.

Adjust the machine speed so that the development time for  
normally exposed film is approximately 60 seconds. The  
development time is measured from the time the film enters  
the developer to the time it enters the fixer. Differences in  
machine design that affect agitation and crossover times  
from one tank to the next may require development-time  
adjustments.
