Control Strip Log Exposure Range The graphs in Figure 2 and Figure 3 demonstrate the differences between the former ECN control strip exposed on KODAK VISION 200T Color Negative Film 5274, and the new format exposed on KODAK VISION2 200T Color Negative Film 5217. Physically, the center-to-center step distance has been maintained on the new control strips; no problems should be encountered with existing automatic densitometers. Once the transition to the new control strips is complete, and

Effects of Mechanical and Chemical Variations Figures 4 through 13 illustrate some of the major photographic effects of mechanical and chemical variations on KODAK VISION2 Color Negative Control Strips exposed on 5217 Film compared to the former VISION Control Strips exposed on 5274 Film. Each plot shows the effect of a change in a process variable (horizontal axis), on the dye density of the processed film (vertical axis). These density plots are deviated against the standard level for
