andrew_hull Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 I just dropped off a 35mm slide to be made into a black and white fiber print. The process the processor uses is to make a 4x5 internegative. Can someone tell me how they do this? I am trying to think of the process and am curious how difficult this would be? Thanks Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc schneider dc metro Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 The basic process is simple, the details are complex. The basic process is to put the slide into a holder for an enlarger and the 4x5 film in an easel on the baseboard of the enlarger. Expose and develop.

stephen hazelton Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 I suppose you could use a view camera & just photograph it similar to slide duplication in 35mm- short lens and long bellows would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelly_flanigan1 Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 The 4x5 internegative is used by the lab; to prevent excessive contrast buildup; when going from a positive to a positive....The internegative film is made to NOT be super contrasty; so the shadow and highllight detail will be preserved in the final print.........Shooting your own internegative; with common "non internegative" emulsions; will yield a poor final print; unless has the time to shoot several; with overexposure; and underdevelopment; to try to catch the slides information....
