Hello Jim,
Perhaps he means left-right reversed unless one uses a prism or mirror. IDK.
Cheers,
Clarence

I've been printing on Ilfochrome since before Ilfochrome (Cibachrome).
Today's Ilfochrome (Ciba) is not a high contrast material. It has been
years since I've had to make a mask to tone down the contrast. In my
estimation, E6 (VS & Velvia) is contrastier than Ciba. For me, E6
prints perfectly on Ciba without masks. I don't know what you are
talking about - "and the original is REVERSED, it would seem easy to
fix after scanning and correct/manipulation." Ciba is a positive
material as is E6. Neither are reversed. A positive image coming into
a camera would print directly on Ciba material. You can get a lot of
info via google.

Hi!
I'm interesting in hearing if anyone on the list uses Ilfochrome
(old Cibachrome) in large format ie 8x10 or larger. It would seem a
cost saving over E-6 trannies and the original in camera print is
more dark storage stable. What kind of in camera film speed? Though
the contrast of Ilfochrome is higher than E-6 and the original is
REVERSED, it would seem easy to fix after scanning and
correct/manipulation.
Someone have hands on experience with this in the studio or
outside?
Best, Rich
