    Fuji X-ray film: development and EI rating?

    Hi,
    I have a package of Fuji Rx-U blue-sensitive X-ray film, and was thinking of using a either HC-110 dilution H or caffenol developer.
    Can anyone recommend a starting point for EI and development time?
    I'm completely in the dark as to this film.

    I've searched the very impressive X-ray thread, and liked what I saw from caffenol developers, it seemed like the development was smoother and gave somewhat richer tones.
    However, I do have lots of HC-110 on hand.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    My trials have been with Brand X blue.
    For your first pass, assume it's Plus X or similar
    Unless you can get a specific answer

    Thanks, Ed; that's a good starting point.
    I've heard of EIs from 25 to 400.

    Thanks, John, I stopped using D-76 a while back, but 100 ISO is a good place to start.
