    Re: X Ray positives?

    I made positives with XRAY film for Gum Oil printing. Worked very well. I used single-sided Ektascan. Developed in LC-1B at a 1+5 dilution. After three years I stopped making Gum Oils, though. Wasn't fond with the look. I have also enlarged small format negatives onto XRAY, then contact printed for the negative to make carbon transfer prints...that was before I got into digital negatives.

    Re: X Ray positives?

    I did not suggest that film

    I use this now, works great

    Buy this not the slightly more X-Ray blue https://www.zzmedical.com/x-ray-acce...-ray-film.html

    Best deal going from the best supplier

    I always buy a full case of 500 sheets, it ships better

    I am sure I have bought and used $3K X-Ray from ZZ over 10 years

    Always get fresh film from them

    Thanks, yes, I also shoot HRU… but for film positives the bluish cast from the film base is just not a very nice feature….

    The blue cast on the film will have no influence on the printing of any alt process.

    I surely didn’t pay that. It was an eBay find.
    Also it has a clear base.

    Re: X Ray positives?

    I've done quite a bit of making positives using X-Ray film, it's a by product of enlarging negatives. The easiest way is to enlarge to make an inter positive (first step to making an enlarged negative)instead of contact printing. Best if you can use a lens with a shutter as the exposure times are very short even with the lens stopped all the way down.
    Original negative was shot with a Mamiya 6, enlarged interpositive on 11x14 blue sensitive x-ray film, contact printed to make enlarged negative on same film, contact print from enlarged negative. I make enlarged positives for silk screen printing also.
