[LargeFormat] Internegatives

[Hornford, Dave]

Thanks.

I haven't been impressed with the couple of  Cibachrome prints I have =
had made locally - and 8x10 is the largest size opened and 11x17ish is =
my wife's favourite size
I'd rather not go the digital route - with the recent conversion of a =
friend with a darkroom to LF he upgraded his enlarger to support LF - =
because I want to print this one.

OK, how hard is the  Cibachrome route?

regards Dave

Yes, unlike digital there are significant losses as you add generations =
to
the printing process.  I remember my father having internegs done of
Kodachrome slides in the 70's because there was only the Cibachrome =
choice
at the time I believe.  And it was contrasty and expensive.  I also =
recall
being less than impressed with the finished product derived from the
interneg.  Not only was it less than sharp as you mention, but the =
contrast
was poor and color less vivid.

| Heh, heck some people get a kick out of making Internegs :P
|
| You are right, a scan and digital print or a Cibachrome will give you
| the greatest results.  Internegs are not all that sharp anyway.

| Why would you?  I have yet to see a print from an interneg that looked
| as
| good as a print from the slide!  I assume we're talking about 4x5?  A
| good
| cibachrome printer (Ilfochrome actually) will do one heck of a job =
with
| a
| 4x5 tranny.  Even one of your better commercial printers would do a =
nice
| job
| with a high res scan and lightjet (or what ever they're called) true
| photographic rather than inkjet print.  If you want to work from 35mm,
| London Drugs or equivalent will do a fairly decent 8x12 or larger from =
a
| slide.
|
| In my opinion, the day of the interneg has come and gone...
