여보세요. 저는 한국에 있는 연구소에서 일하고 있습니다.
이번에는 노리츠 컬러링 머신을 흑백으로 바꿔봤습니다. 국내 최초의 방식이라 조언을 구할 곳이 없으니 여기 계신 선생님들께 조언을 구하고 싶습니다.
1. xtol 1:1을 사용할 계획이고 작업량이 하루에 최소 20-50개입니다. 기계는 한 번에 두 개의 롤을 공급합니다. 35&120 필름의 각 보충 수량을 알려주십시오.
2. Flushing Accelerator와 Photoflow를 혼합하여 사용할 수 있습니까?
번역사 관계로 용어가 약간 다른 점 죄송합니다.
전문 선생님의 조언이 필요합니다. 감사 해요.
 
Hello. I am working in a research institute in Korea.
This time, I changed the Noritsu Coloring Machine to black and white. Since it is the first method in Korea, there is no place to ask for advice, so I would like to ask for advice from the teachers here.
1. I plan to use xtol 1:1 and my workload is at least 20-50 per day. The machine feeds two rolls at a time. Please tell us the quantity of each replenishment of 35&120 film.
2. Can I mix Flushing Accelerator and Photoflow?
We are sorry that the terminology is slightly different as we are a translator.
You need the advice of a professional teacher. thank you.
 
I use 80ml per 120 roll. To get more replies, you might want to run your questions through google translate first, instead of making us do that...
 
Xtol is normally replenished as stock solution, rather than 1:1, and the common rate is 70 ml per 120 or 135-36 (shorter 135 rolls use proportionally less).

For "flushing accelerator" I presume you mean rapid fixer; I'm not familiar with replenishing fixers for B&W, but you can safely and effectively use C-41 fixer and follow its replenishment rates.

For Photo-Flo, again I'm unfamiliar with replenishment. Photo-Flo doesn't have anti-fungal agents as C-41 Final Rinse does, so it will have a fairly short tank life even if you can replenish it. I'd suggest you may want/need to mix it fresh each day.
 
I replenish at 70 mls per roll with stock solution.
 
By "flushing accelerator" do you mean hypo clearing agent or (also known as ) wash aid, for clearing fixer?
If so, probably not, as you should follow the wash aid with a plain water wash, then the photo-flo would be used last with no water wash following it.
 
 
You should be good. If you're new to film processing, this video might be useful:
 
I'm sorry, Google Translate didn't fully make sense of that last reply. I do not recommend replenishing diluted Xtol, but if you do, you'd dilute your replenisher as well (70 ml stock solution plus 70 ml water) to keep the developer at constant strength.
 
조언해주신 분들 감사합니다.
그 외에 제가 알아야 할 사항이 있다면 언제든지 조언 부탁드립니다. 감사 해요.

{Translation:
Thanks to those who gave advice.
If there is anything else I need to know, please feel free to advise. thank you.}

Do not replenish diluted XTOL. Ever. Period.
