Final Steps - Kodak TRI-X 320 Technical Data Manual

Rotary-Tube Processing
Follow the agitation recommendations for your processor.
The design of the machine and the agitation will
significantly affect the development time required to
obtain optimum contrast. The times given below are
starting-point recommendations. Make tests to determine
if results are acceptable for your needs.

PUSH PROCESSING
Push processing allows you to expose the film at higher
film-speed numbers for conditions such as low-level light,
stop action, or existing light. However, there will be a loss
of shadow detail and an increase in graininess.
⁄

4
Because of these films' exposure latitude, you can
⁄
3
4 underexpose by one stop and use normal processing
⁄
3
times. Prints will show a slight loss in shadow detail.
4
You can underexpose by two stops if you increase
8
development time by push processing. Prints will show an
⁄

2
increase in contrast and graininess with further loss of
⁄
1
2
shadow detail. However, results should be acceptable for
⁄
1
4
many applications. Expose a test roll to determine the film
⁄
1
2
speed that gives the best results for your application.
6
You can underexpose TRI-X 400 Film / 400TX by three
stops if you increase development time by push
processing. Prints will show an increase in contrast and
graininess, and an additional loss of shadow detail.
However, results should be acceptable for some
applications. Expose some test rolls to determine the film
speed that gives the best results for your application.
