Artificial Aging of Latent Image in Ektacolor Paper

Ted H. Horn

Variations in Ektacolor process control strips indicate that a method of producing reliable strips is needed. Present process controls are examined to determine the requisites of such a method. It is found that the prime requisite is a short stabilization period. This means forced aging. Heat is selected as the aging agent. Experiments are performed to find the proper temperature and exposure time. Further experiments are made to obtain images in a near-normal balance range. Reliability of results is discussed.
