Push-Factors:
ATOMAL is very well suited for push-development. In this case an underexposed film is developed for a longer time to adjust the medium greytones to a normal contrast. The rule of thumb for pushing a film is:
Plus 1 Stop (e.g. 400 ASA to 800 ASA): Developing time x 1,33
Plus 2 Stops (e.g. 400 ASA to 1600 ASA): Developing time x 1,33²
Deep tank processing:
ATOMAL is a standard in proifessional labs. It can be supplied in 35 Liter packages on request and there is a dedicated replenisher in 5 liter packs available.
ATOMAL stays replenished for months if not even years without a change. This makes it very economic and even environmentally friendly despite its classic ingredients. It just lasts so long that the discarded amount per film is aproaching zero.
