Index prints for 35mm

Article Abstract:

Advanced Photo System (APS), a silver-halide film cartridge, is becoming popular among French photo retailers. This is because APS offers better storage of negatives than with the 35mm films. One of such retailers is Photo Service, which faces some technical and technological problems that slow down the delivery of index prints to all outlets. Currently, only 10% of Photo Service's sites are providing index prints to 35mm users.

Paper processor basics

Article Abstract:

Operators should maximize the use of paper processors. To avoid poor results, it is best to evaluate the process parameters first by studying the manufacturer's original specs. Aside from regular cleaning, paper processors must be free of scratches, picks or marks. Operators can also avoid paper jams and transport problems by ensuring that the leading edge of the paper is straight.
