Use of X-ray film: technical discussion with example images

I even knew better than to use a filter. Was not thinking.

Anyone here using Xray film for alternate process??
just curious

That's what I use it virtually exclusively for. Mostly salt printing and I need to pick up carbon transfer again. I don't think x-ray is superior for the purpose though. Far from it in fact.

I've had good prints from Ektascan BR/A, Pyrocat HD, and Dr. Mike Ware's New Cyanotype chemistry. You have to like the look of Ortho films. I find it a cost savings I need. Plus, I can work with the lights on, if I don't badly over do it.

I have found it works fine with filters, orange, yellow, I have just bought a red, but haven't used it yet.

I have used it for traditional cyanotype formulas - works fine.

Shot on 8X10 green sensitive.

I am really late to this thread, and do not want to go over 500 posts , not yet anyways but I have a question

Could someone describe the resulting tonal qualitys on print between x ray negative and lets say ortho neg or pan neg?
