[JoeRalat]

Hello, I was tring to get some info on service or update service to kodalith negative. I was trying to get a negative done 6feet x8feet. Is there any service today to get an negative that size. That's like a kodalith negative. It's being used for graphics.

Thanks

Hello, I wanted to know if any companies out there still provide large Kodalith Negatives. 6-7feet x 8-9feet in size. Im looking to convert some large digital artwork to large negatives.

Thanks

I highly doubt it.
If the end result isn't just the negatives, consider digital negs printed on ohp film or glossy inket paper then contact printed.

I agree - though the largest print I can make is on 60 stock on Canon
I do not think film is made that big, Maybe in a larger graphic house shop specializing in huge murals for advertising.

Do you have a copy camera capable of shooting 6x8 feet negatives? How are you going to contact print these very large negatives? Alternatively, get a large format printer, load it with transparency material and print a negative version of your image...

I think the largest roll of film I remember using years ago was 54inches wide. This was a 7mil base. I would be surprised if anyone makes something that large now.

Try printing services that offer Linotronic output thats used for printing separations.
Not sure if it'll go as big as 6ft X 8ft.
The company Photobition comes to mind, they may have been absorbed into a larger company.

Hello and thank you all for the replies. Just so it not confusing. Im looking for a service, I do not deal with camera or photography.


So I hope its ok if I ask some newbie questions.

You said " glossy inket paper then contact printed." Is that a paper print out then turn into a negative? Can they get around the size I need.

Again thanks for the replies!

Joe, a negative image is printed onto the inkjet paper and that's your negative which is then contact printed onto silver gelatin paper in the darkroom. There's at least one member doing this on a much smaller scale than what you're attempting. You'll need to find the largest inkjet printing service and paper to go with it. google
