Notes:
(1) CTPX developing solution belongs to development working solution, which can be directly used;
(2) Each time the developing solution is replaced, the developing
machine should be completely cleaned, and the filter element should be
replaced at the same time;
(3) Clean developing solution crystals regularly.
