I shot round 2 with the Fuji mammo film today and developed this evening. I'm beginning to think this stuff behaves a lot like ortho litho film--very slow with a steep curve. I shot at EI 50 and I think it could use another couple stops--maybe EI 12. I dropped the development time from 13 minutes in 1:1:100 pyrocat HD to 7 minutes and the negs look just as dense. Maybe go to 1:1:200 next or mix up some Soemarko LC-1 (continuous tone ortho litho developer). On the bright side, some of these negs should be perfect for salt prints.
Here is my first x-ray film shot:

Green X-ray film, shot @ ISO 50, f8 1/4. Developed in D23 stock for 4.5 mins @ 30C. Scanned with Epson 4990, level adjustment & spot healing PS. Not Stripped.
Please comment and what is this HX in the film, something like a watermark of the film brand, but why would they do that. Please check the following points:
1. Is the film ok, I mean not fogged, just want to make sure as i cut it in iPad App safelight+
2. Exposure is ISO 50 setting ok
3. Development
Cheers

Hi Raffay,
Looking good, nice image and your subject did not move!
It is impossible for me to answer your questions, as I simply don't know.
I would make another image asap and see if HX shows again in the same place. Maybe it is an x-ray mark from a shipping inspection?
Good progress!

Thank you Randy. I have made another image will process it tomorrow.
Just noticed, if you look at the image of the film box I posted above it says HX
I can scan print too, Jim Just sayin'...

You do great work, Sergei! Where did you get the film?
