Ilfochrome Re-Deux, Part 2
Those of you who have responded to my printing problem, I thank you, and I
took your advise. However, nothing has changed. I have persistent and extremely long printing times with this material - up to 140 seconds, and I cannot believe that this is "normal". I'm using the Beseler 45 Universal Light Source - 4x5 diffusion, and a Nikon N2.8 enlarger lense for 35mm work, enlarging to 8x10 with this paper. Processing is standard at 30 degrees for the Ilfobrom process, done on a Jobo CPP/Lift, using Ilfochrome chemestry - always fresh chemestry. The resulting print is characterized by a dark, dense image. There is a slight shift toward magenta. At 140 seconds exposure, the image finally begins to look normal. However, with these long exposures, I've had to make 5 exposures at 20 seconds each to avoid overheading the Beseler or buckling of the slide - non-glass carrier. I've asked before if this is normal, and I'm asking again: Are those printing times within what is considered "normal" for this process - I understand that the paper is 'slow'. Tanks again!! |
