warmer

22
Q

5 systems of the automatic processor

23
Q

The chemicals in the automatic processor are kept at

A

97*F

24
Q

Transport artifact where the marks are darker than surrounding emulsion

A

Plus density

25
Q

Transport artifact where the marks are lighter than the surrounding emulsion but still maintain emulsion

A

Minus density

26
Q

Transport artifact where the emulsion has been removed from the base either prior to processing or within the processor

A

Scratch marks

27
Q

Transport artifact where the emulsion is picked off the film base and redeposited on another area of the film
Leaves a tiny hole in the emulsion

A

Pick-off

28
Q

Transport artifact where the rollers are moving unevenly, and the film hesitates slightly

A

Hesitation marks

29
Q

Transport artifact where two or more gears need to be replaced the plus or minus density marks are not deposited in a specific pattern

A

Chatter

30
Q

Transport artifact where these plus density marks are specific to the circumference of the roller that caused the artifact

A

Pi lines

31
Q

Transport artifact that appear as fine lines on either the leading edge or trailing edge of the film that’s caused by the snapping of the film against the film guides of one tank to another

A

Guide shoe marks

32
Q

Chemical artifact where the film appears to have an oily pattern of color in reflected light
Caused by leaking or dripping fixer into the developer

A

Dichroic fog

33
Q

Chemical artifact where there is a flat and poor-contrast film; often films are damp when they exit the processor

A

Under-replenishment

34
Q

Chemical artifact where the images are dull and lack contrast
Hydroquinone is too cool to function

A

Temp too cool

35
Q

Chemical artifact where the images are dark and dull and lack contrast
Developer will exhaust quickly and turn dark brown

A

Temp too warm

36
Q

Chemical artifact where there is silver plating on the images

A

Fixer not replenishing correctly

37
Q

Chemical artifact where the fixer precipitates on the rollers, causing scratches

A

Fixer overconcentrated

38
Q

Chemical artifact where the films are milky white or pinkish and feel grainy or rough

A

Fixer exhausted

39
Q

Chemical artifact where the films are green or pink

There is an image but it blackens quickly

A

Fixer tank is empty

40
Q

Chemical artifact where the film has a blur pattern or minus and plus density

Incorrect mixing

41
Q

Chemical artifact where the films are milky and streaky in reflected light

A

Washer water tank is empty

42
Q

Chemical artifact where the films appear dirty and streaky, archival quality is compromised, and films turn yellow in 2-3 wks

A

Wash water tank not circulating

43
Q

What % of artifacts are due to processing?

A

98%
