Images shot on X-ray film

[Jim Fitzgerald]

With all of the recent interest in x-ray film I thought it would be helpful to have a thread dedicated to the images made. If you do not have prints done yet then post the scan of the neg. That is okay I guess but for me printing is where it is at. Tell us what you used and the details if you wish. This should show what can be done with x-ray film.

8x10 carbon transfer print. Green sensitive x-ray film Developed in Pyrocat-HD in Tanks 1:1:100 for 6 minutes.

This was one of my first prints from x-ray film. "Faces in the Palm"

Very nice Jim! Nice idea for a thread too. May I ask at what iso you rated the film? And IIRC you used the CSX online green, right? I ordered some Fuji green sensitive, it's on the way.

[Jim Fitzgerald]

Joe, I'm bad. I rated this at ISO 80 and yes it is the CSX Green sensitive. Here is another print. Now I believe that the film is great regardless of how you print. I print carbon transfer and love the density I get with this film but you can develop it to the density you need for your printing process. Loading, unloading and developing in a red safe light make it easy.

Same info on this shot.

Jim, do you mean the CXS Green film made by Agfa? Thanks.

[Jim Fitzgerald]

Yes, that is the one. I have found that just about any of the green x-ray films behave the same.I have McKesson 11x14 green and 3m 14x17 green sensitive. I shoot them all at 80.

It's very nice of you to create this thread Jim. It will be a useful threat with lots of info for Xray user.
@ Philippe: The green Xray is rated at 100 ISO that means it will fit to the Green Xray Lab film holder. I rated it at 80 for my application for both PT/PL and Carbon print. The film is super contrast so I usually exposed the shadow at Zone IV.
The Blue Xray is rated at 400, and it fits to the Xray lab blue holder. That's it.

[Philippe Grunchec]

Thanks, Jim and Tri!

What is nobody printing or having any success with x-ray film? Hard to believe. Here is another one. Some Lilies shot in the studio.
