Nova Monochrome Operating Instructions

Washing

Wash your finished print in your usual apparatus
ensuring that there are plenty of changes of water
throughout the wash time.
Note:- Nova manufacture vertical wash units ideal for this
purpose. Consult your Nova catalogue for further
information. Approximate wash times in all Nova washers are
as follows:-
Cold water 3 - 4 minutes
(15°C or less) (RC papers) (Fibre papers)
The clip needs only a rinse in clean water and a light shake
before re-use.

Replenishment

Your Nova MONOCHROME system is
designed to allow you to keep stock/working chemicals in the
unit whilst not in use. Replenishment should take place at the
end of a printing session and also during the session if you are
doing a long print run.
It is recommended that you replenish each of the chemicals
after producing approximately 5 full size prints from
negatives or equivalent area. Actual times to replenish will
depend on what your subject matter consists of and how
particular you are about the actual density/contrast level of
your print.
To replenish, simply make use of the appropriate drain tap
into a suitable container (a measuring beaker is ideal for this
purpose). Top up each slot with fresh diluted stock solutions.
ALWAYS REPLENISH DEVELOPER, STOPBATH & FIXER
AT THE SAME RATE!
Replenishment rates:- (ILFORD MULTIGRADE)
Black & White only 15 ml per 10" x 8" print
(NOVA MULTISPEED BW)
10 ml per 10" x 8" print

Maintenance

After approximately 3 months, you should automatically clean
out all the slots. This should be done with the aid of a bottle
brush and warm water to flush them out. If the unit remains
badly stained, then the use of NOVA TARBUSTER Cleaner
will greatly reduce such staining.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO PUT ANY CHEMICAL OTHER THAN
STANDARD B&W WHITE CHEMICALS OR SPECIFIC
CLEANING FLUIDS IN THE MONOCHROME SLOTS..
NEVER USE WATER OR CHEMICALS AT TEMPERATURES
HIGHER THAN 30°C IN THE SLOTS
THE WARRANTY OF THE PRODUCT WILL BECOME NULL
AND VOID IN SUCH INSTANCES.
