ralphmalph Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 My DKS 1670 came with a Barbieri Desistometer. I can see how to run strips in the software but it is limited. Id there any way to 1. Plot the chemistry 2. Change the control numbers. ( they use Kodak strips but I use Fuji how can I input the control numbers from the fuji strip) any other info about this densitometer and its use with the KIS machine would be very helpful Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidlam Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Use Kodak strips.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pskaro Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 You can also use to make custom paper response Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphmalph Posted April 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 I wan to plot the chem. I use fuji paper so I need to use fuji strips. I can change the controls the chem wont plot though. Yes Pskaro, already made responses for both papers I use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXLtdLab Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 I'm a Kodak guy (though we use a mix of both), but yeah, if you're a FujiFilm paper user you want to run FujiFilm strips. Good for you for keeping control and taking the guesswork out of it! Not familiar with a Barbieri. Aren't Kodak and Fuji "hit" dots/squares physically in the same spot? I thought you could just enter the correction factors for your process regardless of manufacturer, and be off and running. . . As far as I know, the plots are identical: Stain, HD, LD, D-max, and Y-max. Where exactly are you having trouble getting the machien to read, recognize FujiFilm?

ralphmalph Posted April 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Its working fine. I just like the old school plots so you can see the chemistry's graph. Do you use LOR chem and if so do you add the extra correction factors supplied by kodak?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXLtdLab Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 No I use regular RA-4. Yeah, if I used LOw Replenishment Rate chems I'd use the factors that are recommended. They've gotten more intricate, different numbers for each other's chemicals. I'd simply use whatever correction factors they provide. I looked at that once, and the only thing I noticed being significantly different was that the stain (Y-max) was higher for the RA-2SM (the accelerated time stuff). Good for you for sticking to the fundamentals! I still use graph paper too. Volume is too low to really need something like FujiHunt Oasis to handle a dozen different plots. . .

ralphmalph Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 I would be a Kodak guy if there wasn't such a big difference in $$. For what we do fuji CA works well. Thanks for the input XXLtdLab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
