FEATURES AND USES

SAFELIGHT
FUJITRANS CRYSTAL ARCHIVE DISPLAY MATERIAL
is film designed for the production of color transpar-
ency displays. It enables a variety of exposure meth-
ods to be used – from contact or normal enlargement
printing using internegatives or color negatives, to
fast, digital image exposure by laser light.
This film is suitable as a large-sized color medium for
advertising and display work.
Features
Results
For an extra margin of safety this film should be
handled in total darkness. If the use of a safelight is
unavoidable, to ensure no film fogging results, refer to
the following.
• The recommended safelight filter is the Kodak
Safelight Filter No. 13 (or Fuji Safelight Filter No.
103A). Use this filter in conjunction wih a 10 watt
tungsten lamp. Be sure also to work at least 1 m
from the safelight and to finish printing within 1
minute.
• Safelight filters tend to fade with extended use and
need regular checking. Replace when film fogging
is detected.
• Since exposed film is easily subjected to safelight-
induced sensitivity increase in exposed areas, be
sure that handling precautions are taken.

RAW FILM STORAGE
This film is subject to deterioration in photographic
performance and finished quality when stored for a
long time under high-temperature and high-humidity
conditions, even if used before the indicated expira-
tion date. For this reason, always store raw film in a
cool, dark place at a temperature of 10°C (50°F) or
less.
5.
FILM HANDLING
Because the film is easily marked by fingerprints or
stained by contaminants, always wash your hands
thoroughly, or put on clean cotton gloves before han-
dling the film.
The film sheets are encoded with a notch, which is
located in the upper right-hand corner when the emul-
sion surface is facing toward you.

Processing
Steps
Raw film which has been stored at 10°C (50°F) or less
should be kept in its moisture-proof wrap and allowed
to warm to room temperature prior to being opened. If
the film is removed from its packaging immediately
after being removed from refrigerated storage, con-
densation will form on the surfaces, resulting in print
color change and easily damaged surfaces. The short-
est periods required to return freezer or refrigerator-
stored film to room temperature (minimum tempera-
ture equalization periods) are as follows.

If the processing solution replacement ratio (pro-
cessor utilization) is low, it may be necessary to
increase replenishment rates. For example, if the
solution replacement ratio is between 4 and 7%,
the replenishment rate should be 581 ml/m

should be 861 ml/m

RETOUCHING
NOTES
• Do not heat film to speed up tempera-
ture equalization.
• Remove the entire quantity of film to be
used on any day from refrigeration dur-
ing the previous day.
This film can be retouched on both its emulsion side
and its base side with either retouching pencils or re-
touching dyes manufactured for this purpose.

POST-EXPOSURE, PRE-PROCESSING
HANDLING
This film has enhanced post-exposure latent image
stability. However, if the latent image remains un-
processed for extended periods of time under normal
room conditions or is subjected to high temperatures
or humidity, changes in the image and color balance
may occur.
• The time between exposure and development
should be fixed for purposes of uniform quality.
Rather than holding exposed film for processing
the next day, initiate processing as soon as pos-
sible.
As the light source for finished display material, fluo-
rescent lamps are generally the most practical. To pro-
duce the best results, however, use only high-quality
fluorescent lamps with good color-rendering qualities.
