I found an old pack of "Kodaline industrial paper". What the hell is that? Transparancy It's written "non-ortho" on the cover, with code "C" How to develop it? in normal B&W paper developer or in lith one?

thanks

I haven't found much on Kodaline. It appears to be some sort of lithographic film, and so would require something like D-19 to develop. My 1947 Photo Lab Handbook doesn't mention it (or I couldn't find it), so I suspect it's newer than that. A search of Kodak's site shows it is only listed in footnotes, so I don't think it is still manufactured.

A quick search for Kodaline on www.google.com popped up the following datasheet, which includes exposure and developing info..

http://www.kpgraphics.com/pdf/products/Film/ti/ti1364.pdf

Looks like it's still made: a quick description from the datasheet.

"Moderately high contrast, stabilized gelatin, orthochromatic file for making camera-line or copy-dot negatives or positives."

"Can also be used for making contact negatives or positives."

and my favourite..

"Resolves extremely small dots"

Thanks Duncan The site is great, though what you sent me was about kodaline film- I was talking about PAPER. Anyways, it seems like it is not produced any more, but the site contains some info about newer line paper. I hope it's the same.

Thanks
