Abstract
A diagnostic method for testing agitation of a photographic processing solution in a processing tank for a photographic processing apparatus of the type having a nozzle and adapted in use to impinge the photographic processing solution onto a photographic emulsion includes the steps of charging the processing tank with a solution containing a silver solvent, processing the photographic emulsion, and testing the processed photographic emulsion for patterns of silver remaining in the photographic emulsion, wherein such patterns are indicative of nozzle obstructions and thereby agitation levels present in the processing tank.
Claims9
A diagnostic method for testing fluid delivery of a photographic processing solution in a processing tank for a photographic processing apparatus of the type having a plurality of nozzles and adapted in use to impinge said photographic processing solution onto a photographic emulsion, the method characterized by:
- charging said processing tank with a solution containing a silver solvent;
- processing said photographic emulsion;
- and
- testing the processed photographic emulsion for patterns of silver remaining in the photographic emulsion, wherein such patterns are indicative of nozzle obstructions and thereby agitation levels present in said processing tank.
