Cool but very long, these might be more manageable

!! WARNING !!

Trying this technique will result in very expensive testing...

This condition can lead to homelessness, divorce, depression and isomnia.

Talk to your doctor before using Ilfochrome to find out if it is right for you.


Sorry... I simply could not resist.

Guys from Cubestories project are still active (and probably aren't too worried about expenses):

I have just come into a Cibachrome 'Discovery Kit' (10 shts 4x5 + drum + chemicals) and a package of 8x10 paper, I'm thinking of giving this a try. Nice helpful stuff here, re. filtration- I would not have thought to use a UV filter. I also got a new package of 6x6" Ciba gel filters, which I won't be needing as I use 3x3" in a clip-on holder and I already have an Ilford set (or 2, or 3).

2 questions: I don't see a date on the Discovery Kit, but I notice they've been sold as recently as 2010? I assume the chems are concentrates, I haven't opened the sealed box to look. What are my chances of having good chemistry? The box is shrink-wrapped in plastic and looks rather new.

Also: I see people are using a speed of 2 or 3 ASA for Ilfochrome, is Cibachrome identical? If not, what speed should I use?

You guys are crazy! I've been looking for Ilfochrome paper to print some Kodachrome and velvia /provia prints for a year with no luck and you're using them for fun experiments... I'm baffled %-0 lol

Really? I've never printed color, so I had no idea if this stuff was getting rare. I do have a freezer full of 8x10 chrome film, maybe I should be shooting that instead. I just don't like paying $12/sht for processing.

Haha, yea the only actual printer I know of that has any is in Australia, and the only person I know (who will share) is in Canada (I'm I'm the Us) and I have to smuggle chemistry over the border to be able to use some... Lol (but he has bigger than 8x10
