D-48
Description
Kodak COM DR Microfilm 2467 (Estar Base) is a
slow-speed film with a direct reversin emulsion
that is blue- reen sensitive. It has hi h spectral
sensitivity in the 430 to 550 nm ran e.
Product Applications
Kodak COM DR Microfilm 2467 is desi ned for
use in blue phosphorous CRT (cathode ray tube)
type computer output microfilmers (COMs).
These devices photo raph data displayed
electronically rather than from printed
documents. COM DR Microfilm is drop-in
compatible with roll film COM equipment
such as Bell & Howell, DatagraphiX 4500, XR,
3M Beta COM, and raphic COMs such as
the Cal Comp. COM DR Microfilm requires
only conventional processin , and does not
require the use of a full reversal processin
system, which uses dichromate bleach.
Features
 Manufactured to meet ISO and ANSI
standards for an LE 500 film
 Excellent capture of CRT formsflash
and cutmark
Minimum adjustments are necessary to
balance these exposures.
 Uniform background provides crisp
diazo copies
 Low printing density (D-min 0.04-0.05)
Clearer master characters (D-min) allow for
hi her throu hput rates of duplicators.
 Good exposure and duplication latitude
The combination of a low D-min and medium
contrast yields a wider exposure tolerance
and fewer exposure adjustments of duplicator
exposure times.
 Low process sensitivity
Even as process conditions vary, DR microfilm
maintains hi h ima e quality.
 Invariant photographic speed
From batch to batch, there is no need to
adjust exposure output.
 Halation protection
Halation protection eliminates ima e
bloom caused by reflected li ht. This is
particularly important with headers and
detailed form slides.
 Process-surviving antistatic backing
Even after processin , static protection is
maintained to reduce dirt and dust build-up
durin duplication and handlin .

Handling
Unprotected films should be handled in total
darkness or under safeli ht conditions such
as a Kodak No. 2 Safeli ht Filter / dark red,
or a Kodak No. 1 Safeli ht Filter / red, with
a 15-watt bulb at least four feet from the film.
However, the followin packa e confi urations
may be handled in room li ht:
Com-Pack Cartrid e
Roomli ht Load
Storage
For best stora e, keep unprocessed film in
the ori inal, unopened packa e at 70°F (21°C),
50% relative humidity or below, and protected
from radiation and X-rays. To avoid moisture
condensation on film that has been refri erated,
do not open the packa e until the film has
warmed throu hout to normal room temperature,
about three hours if refri erated or five hours
if frozen.

Processing Information
Processors and Processing Chemicals
Kodak COM DR Microfilm 2467 can be
processed in most typical continuous-strand
type medium and deep-tank processors such
as Allen F10, F-10R, F-20, F-20R, Houston
Fearless 76, Oscar, Jamieson, Hollywood,
Kodak Versamat 75, and others utilizin
Kodak COM Professional Developer and
Replenisher DRC with Kodak Microfilm Fixer
and Replenisher. COM DR 2467 Microfilm is
compatible with all standard microfilm processin
equipment and hi h-quality microfilm chemicals,
althou h results may vary.
MPORTANT: For best results and to avoid
aeration, always add chemical
concentrate to water, not water
to concentrate.
Photographic Aims
D-max:1.95 to 2.15*
D-min: 0.06 or lower
Processor transport speed and/or temperature
may be varied to achieve D-max and D-min
values. Process adjustments to achieve a D-max
in the ran e of 1.95 to 2.15 or lower D-min may
be required dependin on unique processin
situations. Initial D-max on start-up of fresh
developer may be sli htly lower, but should
stabilize in the 1.95 to 2.15 ran e.
* When starting with fresh chemicals, D-max may
be slightly lower than 1.95 until the chemicals
are seasoned.

Development Time and Transport Speed
Development/transport times should be set by
timin film speed (splice point) top of rack, roller-
to-roller while runnin in the processor. Transport
speeds are based on actual dwell times and
photo raphic aims, and are determined by timin
film speed, top of rack, entrance roller to exit
roller while runnin in the processor.
Replenishment Rates
Once development time and transport rates
are set to acquire desired photo raphic aims,
replenishment rate settin s are determined by
multiplyin the transport speed by the required
replenishment rates for the appropriate film width
bein used. Replenishment may be reduced if
si nificant quantities of leader are used. For
instance, with Kodak COM Professional
Developer and Replenisher DRC, practical
experience indicates rates as low as 7.5 mL/ft
of 105 mm film are adequate in deep tank
processors. The use of control charts such
as Kodak Publication A-1631 is recommended
for monitorin control.
Transport Replenishment/ Replenishment
speed x ft of film = rate
(ft/min) (mL/Lft) (mL/min*)
*1 mL/min = 1 cc/min
These are startin -point recommendations
for deep-tank processors. Shallow-tank and
medium-tank processors, or variable operatin
conditions in all processors, may require
replenishment rate adjustments to maintain
process activity levels.
Example
Processor: Allen F-10R
Type of film: 105 mm COM DR
Dwell: 32 seconds
Developer Film Path: 6.5 feet
See table above for:
Replenishment (Dev): 7.5
Replenishment (Fix): 4
Calculated transport speed:
6.5 feet x 60 sec
32 sec min = 12 ft / min
12 feet x 7.5 mL
min feet
= 90 mL / min*
(developer replenishment)
Replenishment results:
12 feet x 4 mL
min feet
= 48 mL / min*
(fixer replenishment)

The above chart can be used to determine
other development time/temperature
combinations that provide equivalent
photo raphic quality. Temperatures between
90 and 100°F (32 and 37.8°C) are optimum
for total system performance.
After-Process Information
Keeping
This film is suitable for archival keepin when processed as recommended. However, due to possible
variations in conditions, it is recommended that users establish their own compliance with existin
archival-keepin requirements as outlined in pertinent standard ANSI/NAPM IT9.1-1996, ISO 10602 -
1995, and in Kodak Booklet D-31. This film is within thiosulfate limits for microfilm, when processed
accordin to manufacturers recommendations.
