AGFA ASP 94 PROCESS
Chemical Processing Layout for Colour Negative Paper Prints and
Duplication Films
ASP 94 Process is a chemical processing layout for processing colour negative paper prints and
duplication films. It is compatible with standard RA-4 or AP94 chemistries. The process is suitable
for aerial roller transport machines and similar equipment.
�� Properties
• Stable and reliable chemistry. Reduced effects of oxidation and tarring.
• Odourless developer bath.
• Only liquid chemicals are used.
• Environment friendly and bio-degradable.
• Handles analogue and digital print in optimum quality.
• Large print "colour space" and excellent balance between flare and D-max.
�� Process Layout
•
When a starter is used for CD -R or CD- LR baths, the starter is only used when loading the machine.
• BX does is used without starter.
• BX-additive is used to lower the oxidation pace.
• Wash tank between 2 and 11
lit/m². For display materials double this amount. Standard Paper Process: Colour Developer: 45"/ 35°C at 210 ml/m² CD-R and BX replenishment
at 160 ml/m² CD-LR replenishment
Display film Process: Colour Developer: 110
"/ 35°C at 500 ml/m² CD and BX replenishment For display materials such as Avitone CP94 the replenishment rate is 500 ml/m² which means that
the developed volume in m² per item has to be halved.

�� System Compatibility
Since the ASP 94 chemistry is compatible with the RA-4 architecture, the individual chemistry loads
can be combined with other manufacturers' chemistry loads in one processor. It is recommended
neither to mix chemistries of different makes for the production of one load or bath nor to use
starters not intended for use with ASP 94 chemistry, since that will affect the overall quality.
�� Care and Storage of Solutions
All Agfa's ASP colour chemicals for use with the RA-4 process are supplied as all-liquid concentrates.
They easily dissolve in water, without excessive mixing time. A maximum of 30 seconds
mixing is needed for complete dissolution after the addition of each concentrate to the solution.
When used under normal conditions, none of the chemicals is subject to undue oxidation. However,
the volume of developer solutions prepared should not be for more than your weekly normal
consumption when stored in containers without floating lid. Longer storage times will increase the
degree of oxidation and lead to lower process activity. The use of floating lids on replenishers
stored in vats will help reducing oxidation.
To avoid developer contamination, never mix or store developer in containers which previously
contained bleach, fixer or bleach-fix. It is good practice to check the calibration of mixing vats once
per year to ensure that there are no changes in the shape of the vat, which would cause incorrect
volumes.
