Aqueous alkaline solution in highly concentrated form.

Corrosive in nature.

Dissolves and removes exposed coating of presensitised positive plate.

Compatible for manual and processor development.

Works well with most aqueous presensitised positive plates.

Works satisfactorily over a wide temperature latitude of 17 – 25°C.

Dilute 1 litre of the developer with upto 7 litres of water to make ready-to-use solution.

Drastic changes in raw-water temperature may necessitate a change in dilution.

Place the exposed plate on a clean dry bench/tray.

Pour sufficient quantity of the mixed solution and spread evenly on the exposed plate using a clean sponge/developing pad.

Activate the developer with even strokes across the plate until the colour changes.

Squeeze off the exhausted developer and repeat application until the plate is fully developed.

Developing time for correctly exposed plate should not exceed two minutes.

Rinse both sides of the plate thoroughly with running of water to remove residue.

Squeeze off excess water and gum-up.

For tray and machine developing, dilution may have to be adjusted suitably.

Equipment manufacturers instructions should be followed closely when NovaTone P Conc. is used in automatic plate processors.
