X-Rite
882
The X-Rite 882 was designed to meet the quality control needs of the professional
photofinisher processing E-6, as well as the other common processes.
The 882 is very much like the X-Rite 881, except that the 881 has only Status M for
transmission operation, and the 882 has Status A and M for transmission operation.
Transmission Status A is used for checking Positive transparencies (i.e., E-6 films) and
Status M for checking Negative transparencies (i.e., C41 negatives). The 881 Operation
Manual explains all of the functions and operation of the 882. However, there are a few
differences in operation and they are explained in this 882 addendum.
The 882 has the additional capability of:
• Measuring E-6 (Kodak & Fuji), Q-Lab, AP44, and P-5 film strips
• Measuring 2 different types of Internegatives
The additional film strips are selected and measured in the same manner as the other
film strips explained in the 881 Operation Manual. The procedure for selecting and
measuring internegative strips is explained in Section 1 of this addendum. Refer to
Section 2 for definition on the additional film strips and internegatives.
