Response to Kodak translite film

from Charlie Strack (charlie_strack@sti.com)
I found the info.

Translite is intended for advertising or display transparencies. It has a translucent base (thus the "cloudy" look), and has emulsion coated on both sides, so you don't need to worry which side to expose. Kodak says to put a piece of black paper behind the film in the easel.

Sensitivity is blue, and Kodak recommends an OC safelight filter.

Develop in Selectol diluted 1:1 from stock, continuous agitation for 2 minutes. Turn the film over during processing so both sides get processed.

"When the film is properly exposed and developed, the side that was exposed will be darker than a paper print."

Stop bath or rinse as a normal print.

Fix for 2 to 4 minutes with frequent agitation. (Kodak Fixer)

Hypo clearing agent & wash as you normally do for film.

You can tone or retouch as with normal B&W papers.
