At the time, in 1995 when I was doing this, the job cost was about $20 for two
prints.
The density was fine, and I don't know for sure what type of film it was. I do
know that I have made transmission holograms with X-ray film, I wonder if that
might be cheaper. (Hospitals go through crates of the stuff, we used 'Chest
film' for this, as it has excelent fine detail). We processed it by hand with
regular developer and fixer. (I think). The latter chemicals are available at
'real' camera stores.

[jg]Thanks Mike. Sounds like a good holder method.
occasionally the print shop that did my photomasks would use a different piece
of glass to hold down my original,
After I got burned a couple of times, I added a vernier scale to the output
plot,
and showed them the error, and made them do it again until they got it right.
The eventually figured it out, and after
that they made real nice plots for me.
This touches on the situation I've found now. Ordinary print shops don't do
decent film repro work,
and say they can't get the high contrast film, and I found only one expensive
supplier so far.
Microchrome Technology Products quoted $350 for 25 sheets film and $300 for
cases of chemicals
last October... An easy price for 50 micron line work, but not for us...
anyone know a current supplier?
