Running Exposure Tests 3ā5
Running Exposure Tests
Before you begin production, run and evaluate exposure tests to
determine the optimum exposure setting for each resolution. To
maintain high-quality standards, repeat this procedure at regular
intervals.
When to Image a Test Page
Image a test page:
n When you first use a new imaging medium (for example, when
you first change from film to plate).
n When you change emulsion batches. (The product label attached
to each case and each roll of Agfa photographic media is stamped
with a number that identifies the emulsion batch.)
n When you load a new roll of media or when you replace the
chemicals in your media processor.
n When you change processing conditions (new processor, different
type of processing chemicals, and so on).
n At some regular interval to ensure quality control.
ā Note: Run separate exposure tests for each resolution setting. The
optimum exposure value varies for each one.
