• the intensely red-colored plates are exposed imagewise for 20 seconds under a test template and processed with a developer of the following composition by wiping with a plush pad: 0.1 pbw of sodium metasilicate ⁇ 9 water, 3.9 pbw of disodium hydrogen phosphate ⁇ 12 water, 3.4 pbw of trisodium phosphate ⁇ 12 water, 1.5 pbw of potassium tetraborate ⁇ 4 water, 2.0 pbw of potassium oxalate ⁇ 1 water, 2.5 pbw of sodium benzoate and 2.0 pbw of sodium octyl sulfate in 84.6 pbw of demineralized water.
• Both plates can be developed quickly and without fog, and the finest elements of the test template are reproduced.
