[MF3D.FORUM:807] Ort Results

[Sam <3dhacker@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I did some preliminary test images using Ort25 film for positives from B&W 
negs. My conclusions were as follows:

1.  Oooooooh
2. Aaahhhhhh
3. Wowww
4. Yahzoo

To be more specific, it performed much better than standard litho film. 
Less grain, more latitude, more control. The developer they recommended was 
a bust for this type of use as it produced flat muddy images. The best 
developer was standard paper developer. I found it easy to control contrast 
by changing the exposure and development times. For a high contrast neg I 
would expose more and develop less. I even managed to rescue an older neg 
that was too contrasty to convert before.

I did find that it seemed to be a little darker after the positives dried, 
so you have to allow for that when processing and exposing. It appears that 
the images are not as sharp, but I have to confirm that on my second group 
of tests. For sure I'll have some results for the next folio (wherever that 
is!?!). I'm also going to try toning.
