I'm in the process of trying to coax it into submission! If I come upon any epiphanies (of success or failure), I will report back here.

Just wanted to thank you all for the very helpful replies. Now I have a bunch more research to do. Someone on Facebook mentioned that they *are* able to create effective digital negatives with the...

I've got a Canon Pixma Pro-100, but it uses dye inks, which so far I've found do not have enough UV blocking to print usable digital negatives--I find it's impossible to make prints without color in...

So many helpful and creative suggestions here. Thank you all for taking the time to reply.

I have a "darkroom" that's really just a very dark basement area; definitely not 100% light-tight, however. I expose and develop BW prints in this space all the time without any fogging or other...

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who replied--I've learned a bunch from this thread already.

I searched and found some very old threads about these and am wondering if anyone has used the folding viewer and/or reflex viewer in their latest designs. I'm referring to the ones pictured here:

Almost three years late to this thread, but just in case anyone ever cares to refer back to Brian Taylor's webpage about tricolor gum bichromate printing, the correct link is...

Thank you, that is also very helpful. Just to make sure I understand, if I project a negative onto xray film (used as "paper"), I could then just run that xray film through my usual develop, stop,...

I see, that's very helpful. What steps are then required to develop the xray "paper" to get the positive image? I know the conventional process for BW film and paper, but not for xray film used as...

A friend of mine is a physician and recently unearthed the xray film photo I've pasted below when cleaning out an old medical office. I know nothing about xray film, so I'm curious if anyone knows...

Thank you Michael--this sounds like a great approach. Do you have an IR monocle and separate IR light source LED to recommend? I know nothing about those (yet!).

Thanks Leigh, and great point about clipping off a bit of the top-right corner.

Thank you for this and your earlier reply, very helpful. Since you're doing this almost on a daily basis, I assume you've got a film cutting method down that works for you. If you have a moment to...

Thank you all for the very helpful replies. Two quick follow-ups:

1. Is a guillotine or a rotary cutter better for film cutting in the dark?
2. Any specific model to recommend for this purpose?...

Hello everyone,

I've searched the forum for some guidance on these somewhat elementary questions, but I couldn't find any definitive answers, so here goes:

1. How dark does my "darkroom" need...
