KODAK PROFESSIONAL Q-LAB E-6 Process Auditing Service
The Q-LAB E-6 Process Auditing Service is an extensive technical process
tool that utilizes specific E-6 film Audit Strips, a chemical test kit, and critical
physical parameters. The audits are run every two weeks to show that your
lab is meeting the Q-LAB E-6 Process Auditing Service worldwide quality
standards.

Labs that join the Q-LAB E-6 Process Auditing Service must be trained in
the use of the service. The training enables lab staff to use the chemical
test kit for process analysis and to execute the physical measurements
correctly. Learn more about training.

How The KODAK PROFESSIONAL Q-LAB E-6 Process Auditing
Service Works
You input your sensitometric, physical, and chemical data into the Q-LAB E-
6 Process Auditing Service online program for analysis. Kodak then
generates reports from the data that tells you at a glance if your process is
on specification and within tolerances for the Q-LAB Process E-6. All
standard biweekly, monthly, and quarterly audit data for your lab will be
available to Q-LAB E-6 Process Auditing Service members to view on-
screen or to print.

And, of course, the Q-LAB E-6 Process Auditing Service helps ensure you
provide excellent processing so that your customers obtain high quality
results from their KODAK PROFESSIONAL EKTACHROME Films.

As with all the KODAK Pro Lab Resource Center Workflow and Technical
support services, the KODAK PROFESSIONAL Q-LAB E-6 Process
Auditing Service will be available in English, German, French, and Spanish
languages.
