Re: ilford positive paper

[wpettit@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Have you considered hypersensitizing the paper?  I remember doing something involving presoaking litho film in a silver bromide (?) solution in grad school, and then exposing it in a process camera at a small aperature under fairly dim lights--we were told it was a progcess that was useful in copying very fragile documents.

For my money, I would shoot Tri-X. At f288, you’re looking at some very long exposures even with Tri-X. Their direct positive is very slow by comparison. I haven’t used it in some time but I think it ah an ISO of 8.

Yes Jan ilford (Harman) paper for like 35 years (I loved Kodak fineart :-(     )  but I have never used the direct positive  and I would love to stick that in my 8x10 wisner or even the Harman titan 8x10 Pen hole camera.   But is is any good and what is its behavior like?   Dlog curve Dmax dmin extra.   I;m sure I will try some when I get done with this stupid movie but if anyone has experience with it.

Inkjet or darkroom? Their darkroom papers are great and their inkjet papers are too. I normally do not print on Epson, but use Ilford.
