Print reducers

To use this method, expose, develop in a neutral tone developer, fix, and wash a print in the usual manner. Next, use Print Rehalogenating Bleach (Formulas Print Reducers Print Rehalogenating Bleach) to convert all silver metal to silver bromide. Then rinse for 5 minutes and redevelop using any toning developer of your choice (this includes cold-tone developers). 

Uses For bleaching bromide prints in sulfide toning with potassium cyanide as a print reducer for removing silver stains. Iodine stains on fingers disappear in hypo or sulfite. 

This dilution is for correcting slight overexposure or overdevelopment of fine-grain negatives and overall print reduction (bleaching). For print reduction follow the instructions given under Print Reducers, Farmer s Reducer.

To determine time dependent behaviours of the specimen up to 25 measurements in series with different time delays are possible. To prevent mistakes in application many help comments appear when inputs are necessary or differences between the calibration and the measurement are detected. All calibration conditions, a description for the specimen and results can be printed or saved by the hard disk. To reduce the input expenditure, the last configuration is made to current values when the program is stopped ore leave. 

Finally, the dielectric properties of a nonpolar polymer are modified by inclusion of even small amounts of a polar comonomer. In coatings applications the presence of polar repeat units in an otherwise nonpolar polymer reduces the tendency for static buildup during manufacture, printing, and ultimate use. On the other hand, in dielectric applications this increases the power loss and must be kept to a minimum, even to the exclusion of polar initiator fragments. 

Fluidyibsorbamy. Fluids like ink penetrate into paper during the printing process. The further the ink penetrates, the less glossy the print. The degree of penetration in paper is generally a function of the paper porosity and wettabiUty by the fluid. It can be controlled by the particle size, shape, and chemical nature of the filler or filler surface. In particular, plate-like fillers, such as clays, tend to produce the best fluid holdout because they tend to overlap and reduce the porosity at the paper surface (see Inks). 

Hydrocarbon resins based on CPD are used heavily in the adhesive and road marking industries derivatives of these resins are used in the production of printing inks. These resins may be produced catalyticaHy using typical carbocationic polymerization techniques, but the large majority of these resins are synthesized under thermal polymerization conditions. The rate constants for the Diels-Alder based dimerization of CPD to DCPD are weU known (49). The abiHty to polymerize without Lewis acid catalysis reduces the amount of aluminous water or other catalyst effluents/emissions that must be addressed from an environmental standpoint. Both thermal and catalyticaHy polymerized DCPD/CPD-based resins contain a high degree of unsaturation. Therefore, many of these resins are hydrogenated for certain appHcations. 

Precipita.tlon. An ink may also be caused to dry by precipitation of its binder rather than by evaporation of solvent. This can be accompHshed by a dding a diluent, such as water in the form of steam or humidity, to a hygroscopic solvent ink system, which causes the solubiHty of the resin in the ink film to decrease sharply and causes it to precipitate when its tolerance for the diluent is reached. Eurther drying is accompHshed by absorption of the solvents into the stock and then by evaporation. Another form of precipitation setting is the quick-set mechanism. This utilizes resins held in solution in a relatively poor solvent, by means of a small amount of an exceUent solvent (called a sweetener) blended with it. When the ink film is printed on the paper, an amount of the solvents is absorbed reducing the content of the sweetener solvent to a point which causes the resins to precipitate and the ink to set. 

Additives are used to provide a specific property. For example, a wax provides mb resistance in the printed film or a surfactant reduces foam generation in the fountain. 

These rosin-based sizes, whether paste, Hquid, or emulsions, can be used to size all grades of paper that are produced at acid pH. The latter include bleached or unbleached kraft Hnerboard and bag paper, bleached printing and writing grades, and cylinder board. In addition, polyaluminum compounds have been used in place of alum, most notably, polyaluminum chloride (48), which can reduce barium deposits where these have been a problem. The barium chloride by-product is more water-soluble than barium sulfate. Other polyaluminum compounds such as polyhydroxylated forms of alum and polyaluminum siHcosulfate have been evaluated as alum replacements. 

Miscellaneous. Chloroplatinic acid is used in the production of automobile catalysts. Platino-type prints based on reduction of Pt(II) to Pt(0) by a photosensitive reducing agent such as iron(III) oxalate are used in art photography (261,262). Infrared imaging devices based on a platinum siLicide detector have been developed (263).
