Abstract
Films available for pre-press applications processed usually in automatic film processors were of two types for many years; lith and rapid access. The rapid access films, when processed through stable and high capacity developers, give moderately high contrast images suitable only for certain types of line and contact work. Therefore, for other applications requiring the highest contrast and image quality, lith films and developer have to be used. This paper outlines mechanism of Kodak Ultratec System in relations with lith system.
