Kodak cantact paper

[kthompson]

Tim, I found an old Kodak product manual last night--from the mid 70s. They listed about a half dozen or more contact papers and some were RC. One was called Resisto or something like that. I don't have it in front of me now, but I'll see if I can dig it out later on.

Your description of this sounds like a an old graphic arts product. Its designed to take litho negs and make B/W prints for either proofing ads or reproduction. In the 80s these products came both as safelight speed as well as filtered room like speed.

Ron,

Thanks for your input. Since I'm new to darkroom work, this has been a bit of a problem to figure out. Being able to work in relatively bright room light would be an advantage, with printing times as I've indicated it sounds as if the paper may have been intended for use with lith films. The "high contrast" of the paper could be one indicator. I appreciate the opinions from everyone. The images seem to be holding well still.
