X-Ray film isn't panchromatic, so it wouldn't have any practical value in this instance. By far the most cooperative film for color separations is TMX, followed by
TMY, followed by FP4. There has to be linearity of tricolor response not only at the middle of the curve, but over a long straight line sufficient for the entire range of the original transparency itself. A lot of tricks to this. There are people who can do separations commercially for you, or you can do it entirely in your own darkroom; but expect only blood, sweat, and tears for a couple of months. If you are willing to endure it, I can give some further tips. And of course, dust control
must be undertaken with fanaticism.
