Hi. Assuming your filter to be about 8x red - i.e. Kodak Wratten 25 (about 2 stops)

HC-110 would need 9mins at dilution b ( 31:1 ) @ 22?. Also try D-76 dilution 1:1 12 mins @

22? - it does depend greatly upon your lighting conditions.

Andreas is in London.

In my experience it should not be a problem - depending which film you intend to use. Both

Kodak Hie, HSIR (no longer avaible!) and Aero IR 2424 should not be affected by hand

luggage screening - I've carried it through 16 gates in a week worldwide without visible

deterioration.

http://www.onlinepaper.co.uk/ very helpful and sample St Cuthbert's Mill papers are

available.

Hello Godfrey,

sorry, the word I was looking for was "robust". I take your point that despite modern

advance in medical technology we may never see if any of these archival products live up

to expectation!

I assume the boxes are well constructed and able to withstand my heavy handed use.

Best,

Colin.

Depending on where in the World you live, I am sure you could find a supplier of either this

or a similar archival box.

IR - (HSIR) is very a interesting film to use and as Eric says - it will always surprise you. Best

shoot lots and learn.

That's your problem solved. 50 mm back focal length will cover a 35mm neg and not much

more. Optimum for medium format would be 80mm.

Sounds more like it could be a paper curl than a printer problem. Maybe try a different stock

to see if the issue persists? Funny things these printers.

Interesting exercise. Thanks for asking. For me all things within the viewing area have a

relevance and relationship - colour, form, contrast and content. I have nominal photoshop

skills as I am mostly still asked to shoot film - I also do not have the patience for computers

that colleagues like Patrick Lavoie obviously have - he makes very sensible and informed

comment which I find useful and instructive . I also believe in the intuitive content of an

image as seen in the viewfinder which will always be unique to each photographer - however

as you asked here is my 4 pennyworth.

If this was the news article in question, you really should check the date. Caused a laugh in

England!

Kodak Infrared Films to Wind Up

It had only to be a matter of time before Kodak cleared the infra-red films out of the

inventory, and the cut off date for obtaining supplies is set as the end of May '07. Both

black and white HIE and the false-colour Ektachrome Infra-red are to be discontinued.

While many photo materials have been dropped by Kodak, infra-red has a unique place,

and there is no direct replacement from any other manufacturer for either of these

materials, especially the colour EIR. Depending on perceived demand we may try to

stockpile to some extent, but as the EIR at least will need to be deep frozen, the amount

we can store will be limited.

Probably a more useful approach will be to get the stockpiling performed by the end-user,

so we will try to work out the most competitive pricing on these two films when purchased

in outer quantities (10 or 20 films), working on a very small margin to ensure the

maximum film goes out within the time limit. Please check back after the Easter break,

when we should have bulk prices established.

Tetenal Protectan or a similar product will considerably lessen oxidisation of opened

chemistry.

If I remember, I experienced a similar problem and resolved it by dumping the Epson printer

driver already installed and downloaded and then reinstalled a current driver downloaded

from the Epson website.

Hope that might help.

Regarding the Epson f3200 and improved performance:

Hello Mr. Turner:

Yes, we do. The prices are the same as for 'other film scanners'. The Turn Key Kit- one

format is $139.00 and the supplemental kits for other formats is $119.00. Lumina Optical

fluid is an additional $22/bottle. One bottle does 40-50 4X5 negatives or slides.

comments = I would be interested to know if you manufacture a fluid scanning kit for the

Epson f3200.

You could ask David Romano if he has any Kodak High Speed IR in 120 format left.

www.davidromano.com

KODAK PLUS-X Pan and PLUS-X Pan Professional Films are discontinued.

As a recommended alternative for roll formats, we suggest KODAK PROFESSIONAL PLUS-X

125 Film / 125PX. For sheet film, we suggest KODAK PROFESSIONAL T-MAX 100 / 100TMX

Film. For more information, see KODAK Publications F-4016, KODAK PROFESSIONAL T-MAX

Films and F-4018, KODAK PROFESSIONAL PLUS-X 125 Film.

You will notice that the inconsistency corresponds to the film perforations. If you are small

tank processing, you might avoid this by rolling action for agitation rather than inversion and

make sure you have sufficient solution for the quantity of film.

In answer to the spots - I think it is a problem inherent with IR emulsion. Having

processed 5x4, 35mm and - more recently by default 70mm Kodak emulsions, they are all

subject to occasional abborations _ I have kept mine frozen, flown them around the world,

shot in over 40c without refridgeration for weeks and allowed them to be subjected to the

most outrageous xray abuse at airports with 1) no effect 2) no effect or alternatively 3)

unusable film. Therefore I shot loads and processed all exactly the same and would say

the failure rate for usable frames lies about 10% regarding emulsion problems.( It does

remind me of humidity spots but somehow I think it may be manufacture rather than the

manner the film is handled thereafter. 35mm is much more likely to show dark spots in

print which have nothing to do with processing - unless Kodak have a process they aren't

telling anyone about. As they may well be discontinuing IR film in all formats soon, I dare

say they will keep that a secret.I will add that it will be a shame if they stop manufacture as

the they did make the most interesting IR film I have had experience of.
