SPLITGRADEUSERMANUALV2.69

Features

SPLITGRADE isan electronicinstrumentintended tocontrolthecontrast

range ofvariablecontrast papers(VC)during the enlargerprocess.

By printing the pictureintwosteps, first through the Yellowfilterand then

through the Magentafilter, (orfirst through Magentaand then through

Yellow)the reproduction of the differenttonalvaluesisgreatlyimproved by

usageof the SPLITGRADE.

The contrast range ofvariablecontrast paperswillbe perfectlymatched to

the given contrast range ofthe negative.

The characteristicsofvariousvariablecontrast papersfromAGFA,

AMALOCO,FORTE,ILFORD, KENTMERE,KODAK,TETENALand

ORIENTALarestored inthe SPLITGRADEcontrollerunit.

Thesevaluescan be easilyupdated byfloppydiskordownload fromInternet

via PC,if the manufacturer’spapercharacteristicsshouldchange.

The exposuretimeisautomaticallycalculated foreachgradation ofthe

programmed and selected paper.

The exposuretimeand the gradationarecalculated afterscanning the

projected pictureusing the probe until the darkest and the brightest areas

weredetected. Anacousticand opticalsignal supportsfinding aquick result.

The evaluation and thecomposition ofthe picturetakesplaceunderwhite

light.

Whenthe filtermoduleisdisconnected, the SPLITGRADEcontrollercan be

used asahigh qualityB&Wanalyserand exposuremeter.

The focuslight willbe automaticallyswitched OFFafter5minutes.

The useof the SPLITGRADEmoduleenablesthe production ofhigh quality

printsand fine artprintsathighestlevel, neverreached beforeand not

equalled byanyothersystem.The SPLITGRADEmoduleisnot onlythe

translation of oursensitometricknowledge, but alsothe comprehension of

ourpractical experienceacquired overmanyyears.

Asthisprinting systemgreatlyimprovesprinting efficiency, whilesaving

time, chemistry and paper,every photographerwillhavemuchmoretimefor

creativeprinting.
