Ilfochrome printing
I've been trying to print this material using my Beseler 45 Universal
enlarger Head without success. Filtration is Y17, M00, C10. Recommended exposure time, according to Shule's Book "Cibachrome Printing", would be 22 seconds as a start for an 8X10. However, following these guidelines, I get an exposure which can hardly be seen - so dark!! (I develop with the Jobo CPP and Ilford Ilfochrome Chemicals, as per their instructions). Leaving the filtration (colors) alone, I then made several other exposures with the following times: 50 seconds, 70 seconds, 90 seconds, 110 seconds, lens set at f4. Needless to say, the prints got lighter so you could see whats on them, however, I still could use an additional 20 seconds exposure - makeing this 130 seconds total for a "normal" print. My questiion is this: Is this normal - seems to me to be way to long of an exposure for a 8X10 print! I'm no darkrooom expert, but when the slide starts to buckel at about 40 seconds due to heat, something has to be wrong. Appreciate any responses. |
