Kodak HIE in Tmax developer

[kostya levay <KLEVAY@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Last Friday I found out that Kodak revised its data brochure on Infrared Film
(revised on April 1996) and ordered one.

There I found information on how to process HIE film in Tmax developer.
I decide to post it on the list since many of us can be interested in this info

  Small-Tank Processing (8- or 16-ounce tank)- Rolls.

  For 1.50 D-max  (Contrast index 0.65) develop 4 min.
  For 1.76 D-max  (CI 0.80)  - - - - - - - - -  5 min.
  For 2.00 D-max  (CI 0.91)  - - - - - - - - -  6 min.
  For 2.36 D-max  (CI 1.03)  - - - - - - - - -  7 min.
  For 2.44 D-max  (CI 1.15)  - - - - - - - - -  8 min.

  Standard Kodak dilution for Tmax is 1+4, temperature is 75F (24C).
  They recommend to drop the loaded film reel into developer and then
  attach top to the tank. Firmly tap the tank to dislodge air bubbles
  and agitate vigorously with 5-7 inversions in 5 sec. every 30 seconds.

  They do not recommend Tmax for tray processing of sheet HIE film.
