A short summary of attributes of the MACOPHOT ORT25 Ortho-Film:

• orthochromatic sensitized
• steep grade
• high speed
• clear base
• extremely high resolving power
• very high sharpness
• especially suited for reproduction of documents, x-ray images
• for producing B&W slides, blue slides
• for archival purposes
• suited for general graphic purposes and special effects
• photographic halftone application by use of special developers

1. Assortment:

• Standard 35 mm, 135-36 cartridge, standard 35 mm, 10 meter/32,8 feet roll.
• Rollfilm 120
• 6,5 x 9 cms/50 sheets, 9 x 12 cms/50 sheets, 4 x 5"/50 sheets,13 x 18cms/ 5 x 7"/50 sheets
• 18 x 24 cms/50 sheets, 8 x 10"/ 50 sheets

Information:

1. As special production order different sizes are available:
   For example 35 mm, 30,5 m/100 ft.long or 70 mm x 305 m/ 1000ft. long. Also check for availability of other packaging sizes.
   Please call the HOT-LINE (+49) 040-237 008-88 for delivery times.
   
2. With the MACOPHOT PO 100 clear, we have another orthochromatic sensitized black & white film with normal grade for pictorial applications available. The PO 100 clear may either be processed as a negative film or as a slide film with excellent projection brilliance due to the clear base. More informations are available at our HOTLINE.

2. General data of the lightsensitive silverhalogenide emulsion:

			Type of emulsion:	Thincoat-document emulsion, traditional cubic crystal technology, steeply working
			Sensitization:	orthochromatic

3. ISO values/Film speed:

Since an industry standard for determining speed of orthochromatic sensitized documentfilms has not been defined, an information about standard ISO value cannot be given.

For starters one should begin with an exposure setting of ISO 25/15° (based on incident light measurement, light meter pointed from object to camera).

Depending on application and working procedures a light meter setting of ISO 50/18° may be suitable.

Individual tests for determining optimum exposure are recommended.

4. Granularity:

RMS (x 1000): 6,0

5. Resolving power:

Contrast 1000:1 350 lines/mm

6. Coating structure: (top to bottom)

1. Protective coating
2. Light sensitive emulsion
3. Anti halo coating (AHU, decoloring during wet processing)
4. clear base

7. Thickness of emulsion:

7,5 µm (without base).

8. Processing informations:

All given informations are approximate and based on a working temperature of 20°C/68 F and 30 sec. agitation.

For pictorial photography (architecture, landscape etc.) the LABOR PARTNER LP-Docufine LC will deliver unsurpassed results. It has been introduced to the market at the PHOTOKINA show in September 1998.

It features:

• uniform and constant results
• excellent sharpness
• super fine grain
• no cloudiness
• different negative contrasts achievable
• asy to dilute liquid concentrate
• glass bottle for long shelf life

Reversal processing for producing b&w slides:

MACOPHOT ORT25 can be reverse processed either by using b&w reversal developing kits available from Kodak and Tetenal. Furthermore the Agfa SCALA™ Process can be applied. In case neither process is available, you can set up your own chemistry. We have incorporated a formula on the backside.

Note:

Depending on developing times in the first developer, different effective film speeds can be achieved (ranging from ISO25/15° - ISO 100/21°) Individual testing is recommended.

9. Toning

Bluetoning with LABOR PARTNER LP-AZUR is especially recommendable for presentation slides.

The blue (background) / white (text, graphics) contrast is pleasant for the eyes and less tiring.

This procedure is more fade-resistant and stable while projecting than comparable blue-slides based on DIAZO- or E-6 processes. Best projection results are achieved by underexposure, as LP-AZUR will add density to the image. For more information, please refer to our Technical application sheet LP-AZUR Bluetoner.

10. Safety light

Usually processing will take place in total darkness. If needed one may use a deep red filter for the safety light in sufficient distance.

To check illumination intensity / duration individual testing is recommended.

11. Application information

Based on its attributes, the MACOPHOT ORT25 Ortho-Film will be the perfect choice for achieving high quality results for use in many areas such as graphic, scientific, medical, astrophotogaphic or institutional applications.

Furthermore, MACOPHOT ORT25 Ortho-Film may also be used for photographic halftone work.

By doing so, extremely sharp and fine grained enlargements can be achieved due to the high resolution of up to 350 lines/mm (by taking the incorrect tonal reproduction of reds into consideration) which surpasses those made by conventional panchromatic negatives.

12. Storage

Unexposed MACO MACOPHOT ORT25 Ortho-Films should be stored in a cool and dry place before use. After deep freezing storage, unopened packages should be allowed to warm up for about 2 hours.

Exposed films should be developed soon.
