  1. I guess I should have said that I had printed Cibachrome before and do color work. All the chemistry is still sealed up. I'll just try it. I'm thinking that if I don't get good results, I'll try using a standard PQ paper developer instead of the first developer. I think that chemical is the most likely to have not survived time. Similarly the fixer might be replaceable with standard rapid fixer. Probably a good idea to cut up a sheet into several test strips. I have a paper cutter which is a rotary thing that can't cut one's fingers so that's good. I've used it in the dark and I put down masking tape on it as a guide for me to position the paper by feel in total darkness.
  2. I kinda forgot that I had Cibachrome (really Ilfochrome) paper in refrigeration for 20 years and I have a two liter processing kit. So I'm planning to use it. Has anyone else done this in the last few years? Looking at the chemistry, the developer looks almost like a standard B&W PQ paper developer and the fix looks like a standard B&W rapid paper fixer. The bleach seems to be where the magic is and I remember it smells horrible and lots of ventilation is needed. Just wondering if anyhow has suggestions before I start this.
