TECHNICAL DATA / COLOR FILMS  
Printing Color Films Developed as Black-and-White  
To remove the stain from KODACHROME and  
KODAK EKTACHROME Films:  
1. Prepare the bleach bath by dissolving 1 ounce (28 g) of  
KODAK Citric Acid (Anhydrous) in 1 gallon (4 L) of  
KODAK Rapid Fixer diluted as recommended for films  
in the fixer instructions.  
DESCRIPTION  
When Kodak color films have been mistakenly processed as  
black-and-white, there are several ways you can salvage  
pictures from them. You can obtain black-and-white prints  
from your films, or you can obtain color prints or color slides  
from them (except KODACHROME Films) by following  
the procedures described here.  
These prints or slides would not be acceptable compared  
with those from color films which have been processed  
correctly. But the salvaged prints should certainly be of value  
especially when you can’t take the pictures over again.  
2. Handle only one negative at a time. Treat the negative in  
KODAK PHOTO-FLO Solution at 75-80°F (24-27°C)  
for 1 minute. Use fresh solution prepared as directed on  
the label.  
3. Rinse in water at 75-80°F for 20 seconds.  
4. Immerse in the bleach bath (prepared in step 1) at  
75-80°F for 7-14 minutes.  
BLACK-AND-WHITE PRINTS  
When Kodak color films are processed accidentally as  
black-and-white, they usually have an overall yellow or  
orange stain along with a black-and-white image. Use the  
following procedures to obtain black-and-white prints.  
Important  
Stop bleaching if reduction of the silver image becomes  
apparent. It is better to leave a little stain than to lose the  
silver image.  
KODAK Color Negative Films. The stain in the negatives  
from these films is reddish orange and is similar to the  
overall reddish-orange color of negatives when the films are  
properly processed as color negatives. Therefore, you can  
make black-and-white prints from these films without giving  
the negatives special treatment. You can use fast papers like  
KODAK POLYMAX II RC Paper, but KODAK  
PANALURE SELECT RC Paper is better for this purpose.  
PANALURE SELECT RC Paper is designed for making  
black-and white prints from color negatives. Exposures will  
be much shorter on PANALURE Paper than on conventional  
papers because of the reddish-orange stain in the negatives.  
5. Wash the negative thoroughly in running water at  
75-80°F for 10 minutes.  
6. Remove water droplets with a soft, viscose sponge. or  
treat the film with KODAK PHOTO-FLO Solution for  
1 minute. Dry the negative.  
Print the negative as you would any normal  
black-and-white negative.  
Warning  
Avoid unnecessary or prolonged skin contact with the  
bleach. Use rubber gloves. In case of accidental skin or eye  
contact, flush the affected area with plenty of water  
immediately. Contact with the liquid or the vapor can cause  
skin and eye irritation. Provide adequate ventilation. Keep  
tanks covered when you aren’t using them.  
KODACHROME AND EKTACHROME Films,  
Process E-6. When KODACHROME Film is processed as  
black-and-white, the black rem-jet backing may not have  
been removed. To remove the rem-jet backing, swab the film  
with cotton dipped in a mild alkaline solution—a 5-percent  
solution of sodium carbonate will do the job. Be sure to keep  
this solution off the emulsion side of the film. Rinse the film  
to remove the sodium carbonate.  
You can make prints on PANALURE Paper, but if you  
remove the yellow or orange stain from these misprocessed  
films, you can print the negatives on conventional  
black-and-white paper the same as you would any normal  
black-and-white negatives. Do not remove the stain from  
EKTACHROME Films if you plan to reprocess them as  
color negatives.  
COLOR PRINTS OR COLOR SLIDES  
If you want color prints or color slides from your films  
(except KODACHROME Films), you can bleach and  
process the negatives to obtain color negatives. In many  
cases, this procedure will restore reasonable color images to  
the negatives so that color prints or slides can be made from  
them.  
It’s impossible to predict whether the color pictures you  
obtain will be acceptable. There is an infinite number of  
black-and white development and process conditions which  
would have a direct effect on the final results. However, the  
color prints or slides that have been salvaged with this  
emergency procedure should have more value than  
black-and-white prints from the same negatives.
