What films are these?
Hi All,
I came across these films recently. The seller told me they are for "graphic arts". But the package did not look like that of Lith films. Here are the details: 1. 16" by 197 feet Alliance recording HN Red sensitive film Daylight loading. 600BD 2. Same as above, but 6" by 150 feet 375FK EI-oct26,6 3. IRP 3Z5MW 13'5" by 150 feet. Will this be useful for view cameras? These films are near their expiry date. thanks for any information, Sreenath |

I don't think they would be very usefull. Regards, John S. Douglas, Photographer - http://www.puresilver.org Please remove the "_" when replying via email |

Not sure but "red sensitive" provides a clue. I think these are RA type
graphic arts films for image recording by a laser beam. Used for making halftones. (RA being a type of high contrast graphic arts developer in this case not RA-4 color print developer) RA was used in a lot of roller transport processors since it has a much longer tray life than lith developers. Be fun to play with but assume very slow speed and you may need a "POTA" type developer. I wouldn't pay much for them. -- darkroommike ---------- "sreenath" wrote in message oups.com...

Well, I was thinking about buying this film to see if it can be used
instead of redular b/w film. I read some posts in newsgroups about people using Kodak recording film. I thought these two might be similar. It apears this is quite different from the recording film. I don't have a view camera. Me buying a used view camera depends on whether I can get film or not. I can't get regular sheet film here in India, at least not off the shelf. I will post the results, if at all encouraging, after testing this film. The suggested safe light is dark green. So this might be sensitive to all colours, even to green to some extent. thanks for all responses, Sreenath Nicholas O.
