INTEGRA Film Processing System
The INTEGRA film processing system achieved the world lowest replenishing rate requirements. Replenishing rates for 20 x 24 in INTEGRA
film are only 50 ml and 80 ml for developer replenisher, and fixer replenisher, respectively. This system has realized an approximate 35%
reduction in the volume of waste chemicals when compared with that of the previous system, the SuperGRANDEX. In addition to liquid
chemicals, a new lineup of granular chemicals has been rolled out, which is one-third the weight of liquid chemicals and features a new
bellows-type flexible container that can be compacted after use, resulting in waste that occupies one-half the space of the previous system.
