Fuji Super HR-T X-Ray film (green sensitive)?

[pbryld]

I am just about to put this film into use.

I have Xtol developer (also Dektol) and Ilford Rapid fixer.

Any observations regarding development times? Film sensitivity (from what I've been reading, it's around ISO 80)?


Thanks in advance!

By the way, I am planning to do tray processing.

An EI of 80 is a good place to start. What do you plan on doing with your negatives? Silver gelatin contact prints? Alternative printing? Scanning?

This brings up a point of interest to me! If I do bring out my 4x5. I was considering scanning only rather than using chem. for a print. Any thoughts out there? Thanks, R.W.Delung

Silver gelatin contact prints. Maybe enlargements in the future (on silver gelatin paper)? Would that change things?

Thanks!!

Most x-ray films have emulsion coated on both sides. I'm not sure if yours does. If it does, I don't think it would print very sharp if you decide to enlarge it. You would have to strip the emulsion from one side (the side that was against your film holder) with ammonia. It's very easy to do. If you do strip it, you should give move development as stripping cuts the film's DR in half.

How can we strip the second emulsion by ammonia? I would like to do this.

Thanks.

If memory is correct, I'm a X-Ray Tech. by trade. Mammography film ( if you can get it ) was only one sided. Plus it came in about a 8x10 size.

I have some questions for the groupe. I have read that Blue High Speed film is rated at 200 iso, and Ortho Green film is rated at 50 iso. Does anyone agree? or have you found through testing a differunt rating. Which will give the best contrast, and best for use on a flatbed scanner? Also what developers and times plus temp's has anyone been useing. I'm fighting off the urge to pick up a box of X-ray film from my local supplier. I would like to get 8x10 to use, and cut down to 4x5 for my other camera. Has anyone developed any tricks for doing this, or is it a no-brainer just using a paper ( photo ) cutter and some taped on stops for each measurement? My thanks for any comments. RWDelung

I just found out that Mamo film hasn't been in use since 2000. I gues thats why I can't seem to find it on the net. I was wondering, If I use x-ray film. Being double coated, can I use it with my scanner? Thanks, R.W.Delung
