[pure-silver] Re: printing Kodak's C-41 "black and white" film

Shannon, or anyone else for that matter, that wants to see what the three
chromogenic film backgrounds look like just email me and I will send you an
attachment.  The BW400CN is VERY high in Dmin with the orange mask and is
also very hard to print....slow and gives muddy prints.  The T400CN has a
light tan Dmin with what looks like a sepia toned dye image.. Fairly easy to
print and adjust contrast.  The Ilford XP2 is magenta in Dmin, looks like
Tmax 400 that has residual sensitizer dye stain.  A little longer and harder
to print than T400CN but a good film.  The bad news is that my preferred
chromogenic film, T400CN, has been discontinued and replaced by a useless
BW400CN .....for professional B&W photographers. Exact words I told the
local Kodak rep today.
