Subject: [pure-silver] Ilfochrome
Hello Pure Silver List,
I have a B&W darkroom with a condensing enlarger and I'm
wondering if I might be able to print Ilfochromes without
having to buy more stuff!?
How difficult is the Ilfochrome process? Is it practical
in a basic B&W darkroom? A year and a half of black and
white, and I'm starting to crave color.
I might end up with an ink jet... but I'd rather find an
analogue process.
Thanks,
Elias
Ilfochrome, AKA Cibachrome, is pretty simple although it
can become more complicated if you want maximum quality. I
will leave it to others to detail the process but I think
you mainly need color correcting filters for the enlarger.
While you _can_ process Ilfochrome in trays its better to
use drums.
Because the image on color film is made up of
semi-transparent dye particals of very small size there is
no significant difference in image contast between a
diffusion and condenser light source. A diffusion source
tends to suppress film blemishes a little.
