Abstract
A new graphic-arts film processing system, “GRANDEX system”, has been developed by Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd.. The GRANDEX system yields ultra-high contrast high quality halftones, line and contact works in a rapid-access-type developer. Photographic materials for scanner and phototypesetting applications can also be processed in the same developer. Excellent image-characteristcs are obtained through a newly developed technique using a control of hydrazine nucleation process. Merits and specific featuers of the GRANDEX system are briefly described.
