AUTOMATICALLY PROCESSIBLE PHOTOGRAPHIC ELEMENT

摘要

Automatic processing equipment for photographic film, particularly radiographic black-and-white film, are required to handle different brands and constructions of film with the same processing chemistry. The Applicants have found that developer chemistry fluctuations seem to be very high when processing conventional films and newer, lower silver coating weight films. It has been found that the addition of an aqueous soluble, non-photosensitive bromide salt into radiographic film reduces the developer chemistry fluctuations.
