AMK RA-LE CAMERA FILM
DESCRIPTION
click to enlarge ...AMK RA-LE camera line film is a high density, medium speed and high contrast orthochromatic film on stable polyester base that is sensitive to Halogen or Xenon light source. RA-LE is an ideal projection speed film for line and halftone camera and contacting applications. It is designed to produce lien and copy dot negatives from a wide range of original copies. AMK RA-LE is designed to be processed in high temperature Rapid Access over a wide range of temperatures and times. It can be processed with most of the Rapid Access, as well as lith chemistries available in the market and has been coated on 0,10mm. optically clear, permanently anti-static polyester base to reduce dust and pinholes.
FEATURES

EXPOSURE
URA-LE is designed for exposure by contact or in a camera. The exposures given below are intended only as a guide for line exposure and will vary from shop to shop.

CAMERA: In order to obtain same size (1:1) reproduction with a f/22 opening equipped with 4 pieces of 750 watts xenon lamps; the recommended exposure time is 10 seconds.

Stop Bath: To ensure maximum fix life, negatives should be rinsed in an acetic acid stop bath before fixing. Mix one part 28% acetic acid with three parts of water.

Fixing: Satisfactory results can be achieved with any acid hardening fix bath. Allow 1 - 3 minutes in fix bath at 21º C.

Washing: To remove all chemicals, films should be rinsed in running water at a temperature of 21º C ~ 27º C for 10-15 minutes.

SAFELIGHT
It is necessary that the RA-LE is handled under one of red safelights indicated below until it has been developed.

> Wratten No. 1A
> Encapsulite R20 Red.

(*) Use the bulb wattage recommended by the safelight manufacturers and handle the RA-LE at least one meter away from the safelight.
DIMENSIONAL STABILITY
Although the RA-LE gives the maximum dimensional stability obtainable, any film will change size slightly in extreme atmospheric conditions. In general, extreme heat will cause an increase in size and extreme cold will cause a decrease in size. In this respect, please refer to storage recommendations for optimum results.
PACKAGING
AMK RA-LE film is available in all standard roll and sheet sizes.
STORAGE
It is highly recommended that the AMK RA-LE is stored in its original packaging in cool and dry place, preferably below 25ºC and 55% relative humidity.
