I was meaning a "special film" which from Kodak is probably called
by a "numerical name".  It, like the Kodak film I use for slide
copying, probably would require buying a 100 foot roll which you
load into cartridges yourself.  You might try checking Kodak's
web site for info, or better yet, check your bookstore for Kodak's
book on copying -- great detail and tons of info (but a spendy book
for a paper-covered book, which is why I haven't bought a copy yet)
and peruse it quickly at the store.  :-)

Although the initial expense may seem high, the cost per cartridge
is lower doing it "that way" than buying film the pre-loaded way.
Just more fuss, and you may have to convince the folk doing the processing
that you didn't load anything that'll mess up their chemistries (had
that trouble only once).
