| Processing Step | Time | Agitation and Notes |
| 1. Developer | Use the development time for your film/developer/temperature combination given in the film or developer instructions. | Firmly tap the tank on the top of the work surface to dislodge air bubbles. Provide initial agitation for 1 minute, and then agitate for 10 seconds at 1 minute intervals for the remainder of the development time. At end of developer time drain the tank – pour out in the sink. |
| 2. Stop Bath | 30 seconds | Pour in the stop bath, and agitate continuously. Drain the tank. POUR LIQUID BACK IN THE LARGE TANK |
| 3. Fixer | 5 minutes | Pour in the fixer. Agitate continuously for the first 30 seconds, and then at 1 minute intervals. POUR LIQUID BACK IN THE LARGE TANK |
| 4. Rinse | 2 minutes | Rinse the film in the tank under running water. |
| 5. Hypo Clearing Agent | 2 minutes | Agitate continuously for the first 30 seconds and then at 1 minute intervals. POUR LIQUID BACK IN THE LARGE TANK |
| 6. Water Wash | 5 minutes | Remove the top from the tank. Put the hose in the top of the tank- running water for 5 min – cold or 20 Degree water only |
| 7. Photo Flo (Wetting Agent) |
30 seconds | Use the water from the SILVER WATER FILTER in the faucet labeled “for photo flo”. Provide agitation for 5 -10 seconds – move reel up and down. After photo flo wash take reel out and shake excess water onto the sink 2 or 3 times. |
| 8. Dry in the Cabinet | 30-45 min | Remove the film from the reel, and hang it up to dry in the drying cabinet – just turn switch to ON – don’t use the timer. Clip the top and bottom of film. |
