Re: [pinhole-discussion] 4x5 film
Hi: Salt printing is one of the easiest alternative processes - (cyanotype is the easiest) One of the best books on salt printing (and albumen printing) is The Albumen and Salted Paper Book by James Reilly - its out of print but is available online as a web page at: http://albumen.stanford.edu/library/monographs/reilly/ Also see: George L. Smyth's altprocess page http://mywebpages.comcast.net/hmpi/AltProcess/Articles/AltArticles.htm For an introduction to alt-process see http://duke.usask.ca/~holtsg/photo/faq.html For everything you ever wanted to know about alternative processes see the alt-photo-process mailing list archive http://www.usask.ca/lists/alt-photo-process/ Gord (who manages to alt-photo-process list :) ) On Wed, 16 Oct 2002, Catherine Just wrote: > > also: > > has anyone used alternative methods of printing > such as kallitype?

I can't remember the name of it. > I think you are referring to the "readyload" packs from Kodak. I use TMAX ones for black and white. They are substantially more expensive than traditional film packages, but you can't beat the convenience of not having to load and unload in a dark place. Also, your film stays cleaner and is less likely to get scratched, in my experience. Check this document: http://www.kodak.com/global/en/service/pubs/kic/kic92753/kic92753.pdf
Re: [pinhole-discussion] 4x5 film
The film type is referred to as 'quickload' or 'readyload', depending on the manufacturer, and generally comes in b/w, color neg and color transparency. It fits a 4x5 Polaroid back and functions similarly to Polaroid sheets in the way the paper functions like a dark slide. It's much more expensive than traditional sheet film, as you're paying for the convenience. Any major supplier should carry it; try bhphoto.com in NYC.
