The receiver sheet is for the positive, correct? Worse case scenario, could they not run it without the receiver sheet until they sort out the problem? I'd be happy with just an instant negative.

I would think that it needs the receiver sheet for the whole process to work, but, like you, I don't care much about the positive and can live with throwing it away. I'll be printing the best shots in the darkroom anyway. Of course, it'll be a bummer to not have a positive to check exposure, but I can read a negative.

Well that escalated quickly....

5 4x5 images for $500!

$100/image... Yeash!

[Larry Kellogg]

Just because someone asks, it doesn't mean anybody is going to pay that ridiculous price

You can do a lot of bracketing for $100.

I hate people like him.

This is exactly what I was thinking. An instant negative alone would be a great thing if the receiver sheet cannot be sorted out.

Hi guys,

Sorry for the late response. I'll answer some questions now:
@Stonenyc:
1) I have noticed that you can leave the lever on P and sometimes the film comes right out. If it gets stuck I move it to L.
2) According to the supportpage first fix then rinse. I just followed that.

@Andrew I used iso 100 the first photos but the positives where a little light. After that I used iso200. Good positives and good negatives. I haven't done a side by side comparison but I am happy with the iso200 results.

@feppe about washing and fixing. the negative. I would recommend do it straight after processing. I let to negatives dry just to this this out But I had trouwbles getting the goo washed off completely. So Either process it and cleaned straight away or process later when you can clean it safely.

I haven't washed or coated the positive yet. Also on the support page you can find info what to use if you want to coat the positive. I have no experience with that yet.

Lets hope New55 solve the problems and everybody gets to shoot this marvelous product.

[DrJackson]

I am really enthused! That has potential to be a sensation!

[EdSawyer]

Even at $18/shot for the positive and negative, this stuff is overly pricey, IMNSHO. $18/ea for instant 4x5 negs, with no positive? I doubt that would have a lot of takers. Hopefully they do get it sorted.

[Andrew O'Neill]

I read their update today. I sure hope they get it sorted asap. In the mean time, just produce an instant negative. I never bothered with T55's positive anyways. In future, they could give us negative only backers a decent discount on next purchase.
